Hey!  So I mix up left and right index fingers while typing?!!
Is that a crime!!?  Besides which ---
`Et al' means `and the rest'...useful for the typing impaired!

Anyhoo, maybe Evi will forgive me...maybe not but I still find
the book useful, as I reckon you do!  My copy sits next to my
BSD console at home, right underneath my stuffed chuckie daemon.

The part that compares system initialisation is especially useful.
I use both getty and ttymon and the book does a good job comparing
the two strategies...I wish they'd do a new edition.  I like
Aeleen Frisch (SP? ;-)  and her `Essential System Administration'
from Tim O'Reilly but the red sysadm guide is my favourite.
(Altho I wince when I see the price tag these days:  $65 US!)

Cheers (thanks for the correction),
Tom
