hype-free

A blog which tries to demystify computer security, point out the half-truths and misinformation which floats around about this subject and hopefully reduce the hype created by semi-informed people. It also has some useful tips from time to time.

Books to read

I’m entirely aware that probably I won’t have time to read all of them, but I’m putting them here for future reference (all of the linked books are free):

from the taint.org blog / Geeking with Greg: Introduction to Information Retrieval – very interesting with contributions from real practitioners
from the all about linux blog: Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference
from the all about linux blog: Open Source E-Books for Linux (a large collection of them)
A collection of usability guides for GUI designers
from the Lightweight Linux blog: Linux Kernel in a Nutshell
from the Lightweight Linux blog: The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use
Wikipedia: The Missing Manual – I already mentioned this, but wanted to have a complete list in a central location
