    1st review

    > extensive descriptions of all system utilities (87 of them, by the appendix count)
    > detailed descriptions of administration procedures (accounts / groups and their creation / deletion / modification, system backup, etc, etc)
    > extensive glossary, appendices
    > covers all major shells (bash, tcsh, zsh)
    > thorough listings / examples

    Basically, this volume is the only Linux reference you will ever need. Newer or proprietary packages are not necessarily covered, but everything in the standard distribution is here.
