Books For Opensuse

Can anyone recommend me any books to get me more up to speed with Suse?

I was thinking Beginning Suse Linux by Keir Thomas. I don't know if it'd be worth it though being geared more towards 10.1 rather than 10.2/10.3.

As someone told me before, the online documentation of Novell online is the best you could find.
Books would only be useful i guess for more "advanced" things, or because you are someone who prefers to read from paper than from screen ( my case...

I would have gave you the link, but i can not at the moment of the message. I will edit later if necessary with the link

<EDIT> Here is the online documentation but there is no manual for 10.3 yet.

You could also just buy a boxed set. Comes with a nice manual and user's guide.

Don't forget that all those manuals and user guides are also in pdf form on the DVD and also in html form within the KDE and Gnome Help Centers once you've installed. If you want the Startup Guide on paper without just printing out the pdf, then yes you'd need to purchase the boxed set. But keep in mind that only includes the Startup guide in paper form. The rest of the manuals are included the same way as the downloaded DVD. All of those are on the normal DVD and help centers.

But the Keir Thomas book you mentioned is excellent. Don't worry about the slightly older information. You'll get that with all paper books. They just can't publish fast enough! The introductory Linux and SUSE information is all quite useful. Even some of his information in his similar but slightly newer Ubuntu book is also useful. And he's not only basic beginner either. It's got stuff to help intermediate users as well. Just check his methods against more current information before implementing any of his instructions as things do change frequently in Linux software.

When in doubt, go with the latest information and how-to's on opensuse.org and opensuse-community.org, as well as any hints available on up to date threads on this forum and at linuxquestions.org's forum.
