HACK THE PLANET !

[Gillion]

Since I have observed several people expressing interest in the Hacker culture, let me present some resources that may expand a little bit more on the subject. Naturally this information is suject to your interpretations. Some people think the authors and denizens need to get a life, others think they are masters of the art'. You make the choice.

First Stop: MUST READ !
http://www.plethora.net/~seebs/faqs/hacker.html

Second Stop: Very importan to understanding OSS
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/philosophy.html

Third stop: the HACKER DICTIONARY.
http://www.jargon.8hzcom/jargon_toc.html

Perhaps this is optional: Seek out the cryptonomicon !!

Other good resources can be found in the Hacking Exposed books. I got 4 books they:
Hacking Exposed: Linux
Hacking Exposed: Windows 2000
Hacking Exposed: Third Edition + CD
Hackers Challenge
all for like US$24 including shipping, but that's just for first time membership with www.computerbooksdirect.com and you have to buy like 2 or 3 book withing the next 3 years. To me that sounds reasonable since that prices found here are cheaper than 95% of the other stores. Not to mension discounts...;D
