This is hardly a new book. In fact, it was written in the days of Woody. (Woody -> Sarge -> Etch -> Lenny -> Squeeze) And parts of it are obsolete. But the author focuses on the core stuff of Unix/Linux, and so most of it is still current. It's an excellent guide for how to accomplish common computing tasks in Linux, usually with a command line tool, and the author has a clear bent toward Debian. http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_toc.html This is the original version of the book, and it is free. There's an expanded 2nd Edition available in hard copy for a fee. -- .''`.
