Rating: I bought this book and was really excited to try Linux for the first time. But I've tried the CD on three desktops and two laptops and NOT ONE of them is able to boot this CD and run the Linux distro on it! The farthest I've gotten is on my oldest computer (P3 550Mhz, GeForce 2 GTS, Creative CD-Rom) on which the boot process seems to get right to the end before crapping out with a "Error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so". I think my patience is at an end and my money is lost. - Disappointed
