I filed through this book (which I had bought several weeks before) just to look up something and ended reading a few hours in it. It is written in an entertaining, smart style and it gives you the original GNU-/Linux feeling: change anything, experiment - computers are new, innovative, for those with free spirits and not commercialised "products".


The book dates back to 1996 and this can be felt on some passages. Maybe this is because I read the 3rd edition (from 1999, German translation) but I don't think that Linux is such a small outsider anymore than it reads in the book. I hope the 4th edition has changed that.
