I have GNU/Debian Bible (based on potato) and another from Unleashed
(called Debian 2.1, or so I think).
I think the first is a fine book but for advanced users it looses for the
latter. Although Unleashed's a bit dated, I'm sticking with it.
Same here : Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed.
I'd give 3 start of five for it. It's fairly good book to Debian
and Linux overall. However everthing isn't there, just essentials
about everything with basics behind them explained well. But I don't
know which book has *everything*.
Only problem with it is that is for 2.1. Network is setup bit diffrently
under 2.2. but otherwise there aren't big diffrences in what comes
to it. I also like to keep it around, for reference altough I don't nowdays
have lots of reason to look it anymore. It was good when learning, now
I feel it is bit shallow altough very extensive book about Debian/linux
including basic of bash, installing, network, security and devlopment
etc.
Maybe it isn't for total newbie, but I think is quite clear
and easy to read book, if I think any other of books about computers
or OS:es I've readed.
I recommended it fully, but one can't rely to just one book. Personal
initiave and reserach is must.
