How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC.?

My iPad battery is dying/dead. How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC? Because i understand they'll be lost when i get Apple to 'fix' my battery.

Meg, thanks but these are Science Fiction books from Baen Books directly. I realize I could go back to the publisher and redownload them but there are 100+ books and I'd like to avoid that. What I'd prefer to do is to find where they are on the IPad and then copy them to my PC and then be able to copy them back to the replacement iPad.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Books or document for learning linux (oracle)

Hi,
Before I drill into Oracle DBA on Oracle Linux, I want to build some basic linux knowledge first. Which book is the best for me to start with my goal? tutorial like?
Thanks
Fei Li

You don't say what your background is, so I'm guessing you are Microsoft Windows literate. You can use the GUI to do some administration acts such as re-arranging folders and searching for files. With the Linux desktop, you will probably feel quite at home after a very short while.
There is a totally ginormous amount of Linux on the Internet, but be careful: a lot of it is stale. (Read that as was-once-right-but-now-is-wrong.) This is a pretty good place to start browsing:
http://www.linux.com/learn/new-user-guides
Go down to the bookstore and get "Linux for Dummies".
Now, that being said, there is quite a different skill set needed to know about Linux "under the hood", but I don't think you are concerned about that for now. So download a live-cd version of Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org), put it in the CDROM, and reboot. You are now running Linux without doing anything to your hard drive. Browse around the desktop, check out the various programs. Most Windows applications have Linux counterparts under different names; navigate the menus based on what you want to do, not looking for a particular application program name.
You'll run across frequent references to other distributions (Ubuntu, for one) but I recommend Fedora because it's the most similar to Oracle Linux (OL). Oracle Linux is a server distribution, not a desktop distribution. That means OL probably won't recognize some of your laptop hardware, or do gazillions of triangles per second on the video screen. Avoid frustration by using a distribution oriented to a desktop/laptop paradigm.
Once you get comfortable with Linux on a live-cd, you'll want to install it to your hard drive. This can be a challenge because Windows usually squats on the whole disk drive leaving no room for Linux. The only tricky part of a Linux installation is to convince Windows to move over and make room. Fortunately, you don't need to do this.
Having more than one operating system on a disk is called "dual-boot". Dual-boot is so-o-o last millennium :) What I recommend is to download VirtualBox (http://www.VirtualBox.org) onto your Windows or Fedora box and create an Oracle Linux virtual guest. There are even some pre-configured OL setups available via that web site or the http://eDelivery.oracle.com distribution site.

Searching for a good book about [Arch Linux]

Hello friends,
I'm here stuck with Windows 8, making a couple of tests about installing Arch Linux in VMware Workstation, if it succeeds, I'll move to Arch completely. My question is: Is there a good book about Arch (installation, maintenance, best practices, security, and so on)? I tried "Arch Linux Environment set-up How-To", but unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected.
I'm a little confused about UEFI + GRUB2 + GPT/MBR but I think I'll dominate it soon...
My system:
[PROCESSOR] >> Intel® Core™ i7-3840QM (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
[GRAPHICS] >> Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU With 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory (SLi)
[RAM] >> 16GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz
[SSD] >> OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB)
[HDD] >> Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid (750GB)
I wonder in how many seconds the system will boot up...

@op As others have mentioned, do not seek out knowledge from a book. There has been quite a few shifts in Archlinux, specifically to uefi and systemd. There are a few starters for your concern.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide/Installation
Other then that, there is the forums and a quick search will land you on a goldmine of knowledge. Great idea to start it up in a vmware, although it will not require the uefi boot, but it will still get you a bit more familiar with the install process and iron out some basic questions. Good luck!

hi Mmm ive been told that installing linux on mac book pro retina 15 and even others and using it as my first sofware will make the mac heaqt up and burn from inside!!!!! true??????????

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

How to dual book linux on a mac

I am looking for the graphics and word processing of a mac book pro or mac air but I need to dual book linux, specifically ubuntu or backtrack. Is there a way to do this and how? Thanks

If you were asking this on 10.6 Snow Leopard I could lay it out for you, but 10.7 that comes with a new machine makes it even more difficult to dual boot Linux and the rEFIt program required to do so hasn't been updated in two years.
It's best to run Linux on it's own hardware now and if your going to run Backtrack you should have the computer competence not to ask such newbie questions. If you did have the skills you would want Backtrack on it's own cheap disposable hardware anyway.
Apple is locking down it's machines, turning OS X into iOS X, the walled garden approach to computing, this makes Mac's unsuitable for running other operating systems like Linux or even most Windows.
If you want a Mac, get a Mac. Then get a Linux PC for Linux.

Good book about Linux?

Hi,
I've been using Linux for 5 years or so, always using a graphical desktop.
I know many commands, like ls, sudo, mv, pacman, etc...
I can work with Linux terminal fine when having a graphical browser open that can help me out here and there with what commands exactly to type (copypaste from browser to terminal window actually).
But when I'm in a non graphical Archlinux (or Linux in general), then everything is hard for me. And when something in Archlinux breaks, then I can't fix it. I'm unable on my own to get KDE working after a pacman -Syu if there was something that broke it, for example. I can use irssi and ask help, but that's awkward.
Having to install something without pacman, is always a difficult adventure if the simple "./configure", "make", "make install" doesn't work.
Using the command line tar, zip, and similar commands are hell for me, because they have SO many flags and the simple action of simply uncompressing a file require many far fetched flags.
Also, I see that things like wget and such are very handy and useful, but I don't know them in enough detail.
Also, I can develop the most complex applications you can dream of in C and C++, but I can't write a shell script.
So I hope the above describes somewhat my knowledge level of Linux. There is some knowledge, but not enough.
Given that knowledge level, what could be a good book for me to read and/or to have next to me when working with Linux in a terminal-only environment?
Thanks!

I really like Linux in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference from O'Reilly. 900+ pages of pure bliss.
It's here at Amazon.fr:
http://www.amazon.fr/Linux-Nutshell-Ell … 625&sr=8-1
and here at Amazon.co.uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linux-Nutshell- … 674&sr=8-1
As the title says, it's a reference guide, not a tutorial or instructional guide per se. But for someone who's already been running Linux for a good while, you'd probably find it very useful to have at hand, as I do.
Don't order The Linux Kernel in a Nutshell by mistake, as I did, unless that's your specific area of interest. The covers look very much alike on booksellers' websites, and the less expensive price of the kernel book made me go for it. Fortunately, Amazon has an excellent return policy. (Pardon the free advertising, mods.)

Thanks for the head's up, AI. I played book 1 and have been waiting since the release of book 2 for an announcement of the availability of the Linux client. Now to go spend some money :-)

Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

Hi gurus!
Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?
Thanks
Mokarem

Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.

OCE Linux publishing a Oracle book

Dear Oracle fellows
I have written a exam preparation book for the Oracle Linux OCE exam.
Can somebody tell me how I can publish that book via an oracle editor?
Please help me on that process.
Any feedback of that experience will be highly appreciated.
thanks

Hi deepakbhatnagar
Well I have got a sad reply from Oracle Press that they can't publish the OCE books at the moment. (May be some of the much more routined writers that are working for that publisher have it already on schedule).
I wrote also guide on OCE RAC and publish it internally in my company knowledge database.
I have tried to get intouch with rampant but they didn't take my request seriously as it is couples of weeks that I haven't got any answer.
Sorry for those bad news.
May be we should try to work together on getting our stuff published?

Oca linux fundamental book

regardsI believe Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate Exam Guide (Exams 1z0-402 and 1z0-403) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 978-0071615440) is finnaly due to be published 5th feb 2010 (ref amazon.co.uk .... not always right) and one assumes this will be the most focused book for this exam.
There's a number of other books that would help with 1z0-402 ... i've covered some of those in previous posts. I'd imagine for 1z0-403 one would have to use a number of different sources if you using the above book.
The exams are multiple choice based, however one assumes students will do practical hands on in their preparation.

[Solved] Worth buying the book? Linux Kernel Internals

Dear Arch Community,
Yesterday I succesfully installed arch on my old laptop for testing purposes, and it's been great.
But I find that I simply lack a tad of knowledge about the internals (seeing I want to work towards LFS, and I'm comming from xubuntu with i3wm) so I installed Arch.
To go deeper into linux, I figured a book would be another resource, together with the arch wiki.
However, the only book (yes, i'd like a physical book for this one) I'm able to find only handles linux kernel version 2.6. We're at about 3.2/3.3 now.
source: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Lin … 0596005652
My question to you is; how much changes are there? Is it worth buying the book, or should I wait a little for the next Linux Kernel Internals book to come out (if there is any planned)
Thanks for any information,
Kind regards,
MatRoo
:wq

You don't really need to know the internals of the kernel for any of that stuff. LFS is just following a really long guide consisting mostly of compiling packages. I did it once a few years back on a virtual machine. The most you'll need to know about the kernel is how to configure and compile it. LAMP doesn't really touch the kernel at all. In fact you can run Apache, MySQL, and PHP on a Windows box and the configuration doesn't change all that much.
For most things all you need to know is the kernel is a big blob of code that makes your hardware work. I'm not trying to dissuade you from learning however, that's always a positive thing so if kernel internals are what you're interested in then read up but unless you're doing something really low level or help contribute to the kernel I'm not seeing much practical use. If you do webdev, it may be a better use of your time to learn some more PHP or MySQL instead.
I know i dont have to, but I'd like to know what's happening under the hood when I'm doing my stuff.
The original questions stays :-) Is it worth buying the book if I want to know the internals, since the book only covers 2.6, and we're a tad past version 2.6.
Thanks for your reply in any case tough :-)

Linux Documents / Books

Hello oracle community,
normaly I am working with windows based systems, but it is time for a change. I would like to learn more about Linux and specially about Oracle Enterprise Linux. What I am looking for is not only a book or document about the operation system, but in combination with the installtion and administration under Oracle 11g. I am not new to Oracle, but a beginner when it comes to Linux. Any suggestions ?

KrischerIts possible the book 'Linux Recipes for Oracle DBAs' ISBN13: 978-1-4302-1575-2 et al might be of some help, but it might not be by itself totally suitable for a complete linux newbie. ISBN-13: 978-0072230536 might just be worth it iff you can pick it up really cheap second hand. The certification book Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate Exam Guide (Exams 1Z0-402 And 1Z0-403) (Paperback) might be worth it if it does finally become available in february (ISBN-13: 978-0071615440); but it might go into too much depth and will be less RDBMS orientated.
Mind you I'd always be inclined to checkout Tommy's advice as I'm usually very inclined to respect it.
