Just my $0.02, but at all costs avoid any books from Sams.net
publishing. This would include any and all of the the "Learn XYZ in
<certain amount of time>" books. They are horrible. Will they teach
you little tricks and minor tips? Yes. Will they get you to be able to
do simple things quickly? Quite possibly. Will they teach you
horrendous coding styles and give you absolultely no knowledge of how
things really work? Definitely.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled linux chatter.
