Not to blow my own horn, but, er, well, OK, yes I am. Tootle-toot.

I'm back writing for the Register again, in case you hadn't noticed. A piece a month for the last 2 months.

As far as I can recall, I didn't plug this at the time, as this series of 5 articles for the Register was later collated into my first-ever book - a Kindle ebook of the same title: http://bit.ly/trabhov

You can buy the ebook here if you would like to support my work -- no, I don't get royalties, but it will endear me to the Reg:

Enjoy. Buy a copy for all your friend, it's the ideal holiday gift!

In case any loyal readers ;¬) missed them, I had a series of pieces on Linux server distros published last week on the Register. They ran them out-of-order; this is the sequence I intended them to go in...
