I would be interested in: "Programming perl" (O'Reilly) "Learning Perl" (O'Reilly) "Perl by Example" (Ellie Quigley)

Being new to wlug, I will pass if someone else were interested in them (no fight to the death necessary)

Hey Gang!

To make a long story short, I'm going through a book purge. Obviously being my friends, I thought I'd give you guys first dibs before I donate anything.

If you want something, declare it on the list. Any disagreements will be handled with duels to the death (obviously the winner gets the book + any books the loser also claimed...)

Here's the list:

Hacking / Security Books: "Secrets of a super hacker" by The Knightmare. "Hackers Challenge: Test Your Incident Response Skills Using 20 Scenarios" (3rd Edition) "Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions" "Web Hacking: Attacks and Defense"

Math Books: "Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen "Languages and Machines" Thomas A Sudkamp "A Primer for Calculus"

Misc: "Latex" Second edition "The Latex Companion" "Mips RISC Architecture" "Database Systems" "Creating Web Pages with HTML" (3rd edition) "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation": Tanenbaum (includes Minux 2.0 disk!!) "PCI System Architecture" (Third Edition)

Programming Books: "The C Primer" Third edition (this book is a bit dog eared) "Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus" "Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk" "Virtual Reality Playhouse" "Creating Turbo C++ Games" (The disk for this book is long lost) "Linux Kernel Programming" (Third Edition) "Using Java 1.1" (Third Edition) "Using JavaBeans" (CD Long gone) "Sams' Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" (Second Edition) "Beginning Fedora 2" (Yeah it's 8 versions behind, but as a beginners guide to red hat linux systems, it's great) "User Interfaces In C++ And Object-Oriented Programming" by Mark Goodwin "Gardens of Imagination: Programming 3d Maze Games in C/C++" (Disk long gone) "NetWarriors In C Programming 3d Multiplaery games" (CD Long gone) "Programming perl" (O'Reilly) "Learning Perl" (O'Reilly) "Perl by Example" (Ellie Quigley) "A First Book of Ansi C" (a bit dog eared but excellent)

Thanks, Tim. -- I am weary of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

It looks like nobody put the grab on "Linux Kernel Programming" (Third Edition) so I will. No doubt it is out of date, but not as out of date as what I have: Linux Kernel Internals (1994) which covers the new Linux 1.2 kernel.

I'll call dibs on these if nobody else is wanting them... Greedy, yes, so I'll give up anything anybody else wants.. Curiosity does impel and I can't turn a possibly interesting book away.

Those are the ones that caught my eye, but I would have to look at them to know if I actually wanted them. It looks like it will be a fight to the death over a Calculus Primer...or not. I am shocked that someone would want to get rid of LaTeX books, but presumably you have newer editions. I think I have all I need of LaTeX, if not exactly those, and I have the PCI Arch. 3rd ed. Mips Architecture would interest me if it were the kind of book you needed to write a code generator for a MIPS(tm) processor, but not if it were generic happy talk about how RISC is good. The first two books I don't know. Could be just what I have been searching for all these years, but more likely just another routine presentation of stuff I learned decades ago. According to Amazon, Tanenbaum is up to edition 3, Minix 3, and they want $100 for it, and so Minix 2 is no doubt a collecter's item worth thousands. But I probably don't need it. -- Keith
