Hello Raphaƫl,
I've just completed chapter 9: what follows is my list of suggestions,
grouped by relevant section, as usual.


Section 9.2.2. Secure Remote Login: SSH
---------------------------------------

| The SSH (Secured Shel) protocol

First of all, I thought that SSH standed for "secure shell", rather
than "secured shell" (ah, I see that this has already been reported
as bug #673078...).
Moreover, if you want to highlight the letters that form the acronym,
I think you should write "Secure SHell".


Section 9.2.3. Using Remote Graphical Desktops
----------------------------------------------

After some struggling, I think I probably understood the
"VNC over SSH" box. However a little figure to represent
the suggested ssh forwarding command would really help to clarify
this box. Figure 9.2 (Forwarding a local port with SSH) represents
the general case; another figure representing the specific
case ( $ ssh -L localhost:5901:localhost:5900 -N -T machine )
should be added.


Section 9.3. Managing Rights
----------------------------

| Each file or folder has specific permissions

I personally dislike the term "folder" when used to mean "directory".
To me, it really feels like Microsoft-jargon...
I admit that this is above all a matter of tastes, but I would
s/folder/directory/


Section 9.9. Quotas
-------------------

| If the filesystem was created with a block-size of 1 kilobyte, a
| block contains 1024 bytes from the same file. 

I would suggest using the correct prefix:  s/1 kilobyte/1 kibibyte/
since, as you surely know, 1 kilobyte = 1000 byte , while
1 kibibyte = 1024 byte
The same reasoning applies to the vocabulary box titled
"Blocks and inodes".


Section 9.11.2. The Naming Problem
----------------------------------

Typo?    s/on subsequents boots/on subsequent boots/
