I'm looking for a not just good, but great book for diving deep into Linux
that would also be great as part of a balanced LPI curriculum.

I can't remember the publisher, but I read a wonderful book back when I was
studying for my own Linux+ that I found to be so much more enjoyable to
read, such better examples, and overall more helpful in studying via the
actual Linux+ exam book I had also bought.

I've got a friend who knows his way around the command line, but it's time
for him to get his hands dirty and build a kernel, know what all the lines
in /etc/passwd and whatnot mean, know the truth and light of philosophy
behind the naming conventions of /usr, /root, /sbin, and all of the fun
nitty gritties.

What shall I recommend to him?

Also, is Gentoo still the thing for really getting nasty with Linux, or is
Arch sufficient? Or should one truly Linux From Scratch?

Give me your best rants and raves, please. :)
