This looks like it will be an excellent resource, especially because when i looked at my school library all they had for linux was a redhat book from 2002. and to think they teach I.T here.

I will reading (atleast some) it whenever i can, I'd love to know if anyone makes it through the whole thing

btw kudos to the writers for all the hard work, and licensing it under the gpl, well thats just the debian way, but still pure awesome

craigevil, thankyou for bringing this to my attention. I have never heard of it before and as yet I haven't read a single word of it, but it seems like it might be an excellent resource. The epub version has gone straight onto my book reader, and like hellfire said what a superb effort from the writers/publishers. Can't praise them enough.
