Inside C# (With CD-ROM)
by Tom Archer
Thankfully someone has finally gone beyond MSDN and provided me with something I can use. By the time you get to the advanced topics of multithreading and reflection, you're learning things that are simply not covered in any other C# book. I was going to give this book four stars based on the slow start (I mean, come on! An OOP chapter in this day and age!), but some beginners will need that chapter. My grade of five stars is based on the book from the middle to where it really gets into the meaty parts of C#. --A customer from Kennesaw, Georgia

VMware 2.0 for Linux

VMware 2.0 for Linux
VMware, Inc.
VMware 2.0 for Linux allows you to run multiple operating systems on the same computer at the same time, and makes it easy for you to toggle among the concurrently running environments (Linux and Windows NT, say, or Linux, Windows NT, and Windows 2000). It's an ideal solution for software developers who want to test their solutions in several environments. VMware cuts down on "box pollution"--not to mention hardware expense and productivity lost to lengthy boot-up processes. We found it to be reliable and well worth its price.
