As long as he restricts himself to software twice as old as Linux. I use Linux for a couple of years now, and usually know my way around on various Unix systems. Most of the tools described in the book were unknown to me because they are no longer used by anyone. The tools are important however, they are the most important part of the Unix environment. So this book is useless. Thorsten -- Why are there only two people who run for president and 50 for Miss America?
