[Asterisk-Users] couple basic questions

[Chris Shaw]

Well I would have given names, but I couldn't remember the titles of the
books I'd read so I gave some good publishers... I really like the works of
Sams and O'Reilly, they seem to be very complete... I'm sure there are
others as well...

Maybe when I get home from work I can look on my shelf dust off the titles
of some of the better ones I've read... By now though, John has probably run
away in terror at the thought of having to learn an operating system as
complex and diverse as Linux... Unfortunately there's no quick fix...
