I do not know "Linux in a Nutshell".
But I can recommend "Running Linux" (O'Reilly) -- I am new to GNU/LINUX,
knowing nearly nothing on the system, and I can clearly say that
this book probably is responsible for the fact, that I was able
in about 4 weeks or so after starting with GNU/LINUX to setup a
working ISDN to my machine .... I simply copied some ISDN-scripts they're
offering in the book ... and after 2 or 3 friendly additional advice
from lists I had an Internet connection with my GNU ...
Best of it: the authors of it can write ...
I often use it together with the new man's on my box, because IIRC
I've heard ( -- I don't know whether this is correct ...) that the
infos in the book sometimes are a bit outdated ---
nevertheless: without this book I probably even today wouldn't have
an Internet connection with LINUX ...
The book has about 730 pages (Index about 28 pages ...)
