Description:

Penguin in the Pew clears up the confusion about the terms "free" and "open source", addresses the challenges of hardware compatibility, software interoperability, and whether a migration is really more expensive than an upgrade. Readers will learn why and how they should migrate to the GNU/Linux operating system. Additionally, Penguin in the Pew connects readers to the growing community of Christians who use, develop and provide technical support for GNU/Linux and other free and open source applications. The book's author, Don Parris, invites fellow Christians to join in a dialogue where the GNU/Linux "philosophy" and Christian values intersect.

FSF-approved book on free software [ No Rating ] 15 May 2005
Besides a long history in the free software community, this book has the distinction of being one of the very few recommended by the Free Software Foundation, the maintainers of the GNU Project.

Also it provides a nice counterpoint for people who got used with identifying free software with Communism, Atheism or other 'isms' with less than 2k years...
