It's one of the more spectacularly worthless O'Reilly books.
A friend (Peter, you hangin' here?) just pointed out the LINUX: Rute
User's Tutorial and Exposition -- 660 pages covering a broad range of
topics, with pretty good organization. Skimming a couple of chapters I
found two mistakes (128 MiB is no longer the single swap partition
limit, 'dd' comes from the MVS JCL 'data definition' command, from which
it borrows syntax), and some points I'd quibble (the partitioning is a
bit lean). But for the price, it's not bad:

Peace.
