Re: Any good Debian books highly recommended



Regarding the following, written by “jeremy ardley” on 2024-08-26 at 09:58 Uhr GMT:

It’s almost 20 years old now but it’s still pretty relevant since Debian hasn’t changed that much.

20 years old means it’s missing all the systemd stuff. That’s quite important.

True. However, systemd is also not Debian-specific, and just like I never covered specifics of the Linux kernel or GNU utilities, I am no sure how much of systemd would actually have its place in this book.

That said, there’s a lot of coverage of init.d and related Debian hacks, such as update-rc.d, which are now no longer really relevant.

So yeah, the book is ancient, no irrelevant, but I’ve also moved on with life and won’t have the time to write an updated version. If anyone cared enough to do so, I’d happily put you in touch with Open Source Press (the original publisher) and/or NoStarch.

Take care,
