Debian Unleashed is very relevant to the current state
of things, and I agree that it's a "must have" book. It's
the only book that I've come across that explains in great
detail how configure common aspects of your system.
On the other side of things, there's an O'Reilly book
by McCarty called "Running Debian Linux." IMHO, stay away
from that one as it lacks a lot of important information.
Too superficial. TC might have a different opinion though,
if it's the same book that he's referring to.

Subject: Re: [SLU] Best Debian book
I've considered getting a copy of Debian Unleashed. My reservation is that
it focuses on 2.1. Are the diffs so great between 2.1 and 2.2 as to
significantly diminish the value of the book to someone with Storm or Deb
2.2?
