One of our students in the NHTI LAMP class happened to mention this very
book last week.  I asked him about it, because of Randy's message, and
he says he's been very pleased with both the book and with Mepis itself. 
I'd describe him as an adventurous newbie - not just getting started with
computers, and not "typical clueless", but new to Linux.
