I got the VM up but can't get it to do anything useful.. No next steps after getting the VM up..?? Also, I would be very nice to have a more granular install.. I just spent the day fixing my system after attempting a native install on Ubuntu 13.10 (still have more to repair) A list of prerequisites would be better that the current unified install...
I have read the book and I am a friend,, so I guess I'm not "qualified" but I did find the book very useful, I have it on my to do to write a full review and it will be very positive, because the material is that good. It has given me some good tips and inspired me to get on with doings some stuff I had just been too lazy to get on with. I too stand by mys stuff and while I have a Pseudonym (dartdog) I can be easily found it is not something I hid behind.
Danny, it is good work, don't let one unknown, unqualified, jerk get you down!
