Hey! So I mix up left and right index fingers while typing?!!
Is that a crime!!? Besides which ---
`Et al' means `and the rest'...useful for the typing impaired!
Anyhoo, maybe Evi will forgive me...maybe not but I still find
the book useful, as I reckon you do! My copy sits next to my
BSD console at home, right underneath my stuffed chuckie daemon.
The part that compares system initialisation is especially useful.
I use both getty and ttymon and the book does a good job comparing
the two strategies...I wish they'd do a new edition. I like
Aeleen Frisch (SP? ;-) and her `Essential System Administration'
from Tim O'Reilly but the red sysadm guide is my favourite.
(Altho I wince when I see the price tag these days: $65 US!)
Cheers (thanks for the correction),
Tom
