Reader Reviews:
It is the Debian System (0/0 people found this helpful)
Debian is more than just distribution it a system of doing things. It maybe the "most free" of the GNU/Linux distributions but in order to understand and get the most out of it you must understand the rules, regulations and reasons behind that system. This book more than anything else I have read helps me to do that.
I wish I'd bought this book a year ago. (9/9 people found this helpful)
If you have to administer a Debian GNU/Linux system then this is the book you need. It explains why things are the way they are, how they are, and how you should use the system.
Although English is not the native language of the author, the text is easy to follow, well written and things are well explained.
This is a book a really do wish I'd bought a year ago, rather than waiting until now. The book is based on the current Sarge release of Debian, but does make reference to the upcoming Etch relase. The web site that goes with the book also provides full errata and diffs to the Etch release.
If you use a debian Linux such as Ubuntu, Linspire, Mepis then this may also be well worth buying too.
Every purchase includes a donation to towards the Debian.
