I am quite new to Linux, and was recommended slackware Linux, not for its ease of installation/use but for its security and the learning curve it creates while trying to learn the Linux system. I decided to purchase this book the same time I bought the slackware boxed set. Quite honestly, I´ve turned to the man pages and README files more than I´ve turned to this book, and when necessary to refer to the book, I´ve found it to be with error (eg. bad code) and rarely reliable.
If you wish to properly learn Linux, this book is the wrong way about it. I would almost recommend ANY other Linux book.. or the man pages ;). And summed up by saying This Book Almost Defines ´Poor Quality´. Currently Slackware Linux Unleashed (Unleashed) has an overall rating of 4 over 10.
