This is what I was looking for, for a long time. A succint book, not bloated and with code that does require arcane libraries to run, for me it was a godsend. Got the ebook edition, worth every penny. I was lacking in understanding of how the linux os really works under the hood and the book quenched my thirst thoroughly. It is a book definatly for beginners, so advanced users wont find that much of a challenge. For beginners its a fantastic read. Two thumbs up, quenched my thirst, looking forward to the next release!
