Rute is textbook on Linux that suffices for course notes for a training course, or a self study reference manual. Rute is available for personal use at http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/book/, in PDF and HTML formats.
Rute represents a unique approach to course material generation. Most training material is charged on a per copy basis, an inflexible and expensive approach. This confines the trainer to a particular course layout, fixes the course content, and ups the cost of courses.
Rute however gives the trainer direct access to the source document in electronic format, allowing them to generate their own course material, modifying it for their own needs, and allowing segmenting of course modules to fit their own training curricula. Further, as course material evolves and is updated, the trainer is supplied with these changes, ensuring that your course material does not become out of date.
Rute's authors are committed to keeping the material current and constantly testing examples against the most current Linux distributions.
Of course, should you require traditional hardcopies, these are also available at a reasonable price.
Frighteningly enough the third Google result is this mailing list, and Mr. Rout discussing it ...
