Hi again Folks,

Can you recommend any good Ubuntu books and Wellington book stores?  You 
know, real paper?  (I've got Wiley Publishing's Fedora 5 Bible by Negus, 
and it sucks.  The index at the back is useless half the time.  Many 
important topics aren't covered. etc.)

I'd like something that ranges widely, from step-by-step on the install 
and package setup, including compiling a source code for the first time, 
through discussion of repositories and dependency hell, to root-level 
commands in the bash shell.

Or what I need is 2 or 3 different books, attacking the different aspects.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
