Review title: Four stars because its out of date
Product review: I rated this at 5 stars; however since it is well out of date, I think it should be a 4 stars. There are few linux books (or none) as well written as this. I thought the chapters on the boot process and startup scripts was much better detailed described than any of the half dozen Linux books that I have read so far: It broke it down to the BSD style vs the Sys V style. Nice comparatives. Great read across *ALL* chapters. My only problem is that this book was published in 2002. Today I'm looking for a handy reference for 2008. Even though its a bit dated, I still refer to this book. Nearly all the Craig Hunt Linux Book series are fantastic which makes me wonder why the author is not reassembling another Craig Hunt book crew to update all of the books in the shelf -- most are 2002 or earlier.
