If you want a sample of Michael Lucas' style go to Big Scary Daemons on the O'Reilly website. ( www.onlamp.com/bsd). I have Greg's book and it has safely guided me through all the basics. I still refer to it from time to time. Michael's material on the web is also easy to read. If you can afford it I'd get both.
