After I saw David check in a bunch of spelling fixes, I thought I'd
share what seems to be a pretty good spell checking technique for the
book. I'm sure everyone has their preferred method already. Anyway...

aspell comes with various modes you can set for the type of document.
One is html/sgml. While this doesn't quite meet our needs, it gets
pretty close and ignores most of the markup that would bog down a
typical spell checker.

aspell -c --mode=sgml <file>
or
aspell -c -H <file>

They're equivalent. It still gets tripped up by all the *nix names,
but at least it doesn't stop every time there's a weird <...> tag.
