I agree with James - I get Linux Journal and Linux Pro.  The latter, 
with the DVD's, is kinda of pricey but it was a present to me.  I can 
dupe DVD's if someone on the list is in need.  But if the library took 
this on, that would be nice.  Blanks at costCo cost $30 for a stack of 100.

Started playing with a Acer Aspire One yesterday and found Knoppix 
booted faster than the pre-installed WinXP Home.  Compiz Fusion gave 
some cool graphics and apps seemed to run faster, though that's harder 
to measure.  This little netbook has 3 USB ports, 2 slots for memory 
cards, 802.11b/g + RJ-45 for wired, webcam, 1G ram, 160GB hd, and costs 
$300 at costCo.  The included 3-cell battery is perhaps the weakest 
feature, but 6 and 9 cells are available.
