 Book Review:
Infamous SUSE book so far: freeciv: The included disk uses the same version of open SUSE already on my Toshiba a205 series Laptop. Thus I can say it does not detect my wireless o.o.b. But my install has a bunch of games I enjoy, the version of freeciv allows one to keep the special resources in a terrain square after transforming it. I love changing whales from ocean to swamp to, eventually, hill whales as entertainment in itself. They included some weird bits about small odd apps. One I remember off the top of my head makes gannt charts but searching the internet uncovers many capable tools to do that. One does get some value from knowing which things already got into the repository as its much easier than compiling from scratch or adding a repository; so, its an o.k. choice but the treatment seems awful long for the limited value of the tool. The chapters mostly cover what they say, I may reproduce the chapter list later.

 Additional Commnets:
This was a fast review before our remodel finished .  I moved the book along to somebody else quickly due to a lack of space .
