[luau] Windows to Linux Transition

[Wayne Bow]

Aloha Matthew (and List),

The best book I've found is from Sybex. "Linux for Windows 
NT/2000 Administrators" by Mark Minasi, Craig Hunt and Dan York. 
If you are proficient with behind-the-scenes workings of Windows 
then this book is great! Mark Minasi is an excellent writer who I have 
been reading for years on the Windows side. I was stoked to find 
this book (because of the author) and it has not disappointed me.

My $02. Good Luck!
