The main Linux command set is now consolidated into one chapter. The book has a System Administration Overview, which interests me, but I have yet to explore it thoroughly. There are also chapters on boot methods, package management, BASH and KORN shells, EMACS, vi, sed, gawk, source code management, CVS, and Subversion version control.

My own use of this book has been limited mostly to the command set reference and the vi sections. I have also done a little work using the Boot Methods chapter. I really like the layout of the command set. I think it is easier to read than it was in the earlier version of the book.

I am by no means through exploring the other sections of Linux in a Nutshell. I think this is a very useful tool to have handy whether you are customizing an installation, or exploring the inner workings of Linux in general.
