I'm looking for a not just good, but great book for diving deep into Linux that would also be great as part of a balanced LPI curriculum.
I can't remember the publisher, but I read a wonderful book back when I was studying for my own Linux+ that I found to be so much more enjoyable to read, such better examples, and overall more helpful in studying via the actual Linux+ exam book I had also bought. I've got a friend who knows his way around the command line, but it's time for him to get his hands dirty and build a kernel, know what all the lines in /etc/passwd and whatnot mean, know the truth and light of philosophy behind the naming conventions of /usr, /root, /sbin, and all of the fun nitty gritties. What shall I recommend to him? Also, is Gentoo still the thing for really getting nasty with Linux, or is Arch sufficient? Or should one truly Linux From Scratch? Give me your best rants and raves, please. :) AJ ONeal /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
