Many computer users have an insatiable appetite to deepen their understanding of computer operating systems and computer software. Linux users are no different in that respect.

I'm trying to download the First book, from the Direct Link, and nothing is happening. Anyone else find this?

This is a great resource, people

It appears that it is trying to open the PDF in the browser. No time to wait for it ATM---maybe I can try from work with really fast connection.

Gahhh :/ "Save link as.." does not work either for me.

EDIT -- might be my browser is out to lunch, as I have upgraded it and haven't yet restarted it.. Testing shortly.

Sasha, the "non-bittorrent" link points to a 20Mb PFD file and, if you have set your browser to automatically display PFD files, you may have to wait for the download to finish before you "see" anything. I just used wget to gab the file from that link with no problem.

Thanks PTrenholm -- my problem was that my browser wanted to be restarted and updated it seems.
It now works as expected. Sorry for all the excitement!!
