  Cool stuff, thanks. I like it.

  There are some typos like “ip-addres”, and links that are only available in electronic version. In other words, if you print the book, you will never know where a link is pointing to. It would be nice to add a footnote with target URL to each hyperlink.

  And it would be great to explain why would somebody want to use particular command. For example, what’s the point of using xargs in find if i can just do -exec and any command I want? it is not mentioned anywhere that xargs helps to overcome the limit of command line arguments in shell (see xargs –show-limits).

  In “Create a new user” section you do “useradd” and then suddenly “adduser” which is completely different command. You don’t explain when would one want to use useradd or adduser.

  Btw, usermod -G will replace all supplementary groups. You need usermod -a -G most of the time.

  Anyway, thanks for the great work you’ve done!

  Nice stuff dude..

  Hack 28 needs to mention what part of the package is the “ac” command. It is does not mention that is a part of psacct utility.

  I am in the process of going through the others.. will provide you if I some more stuff in that.. I hope you don’t mind.

  And not to mention, it is a indeed a nice collection.
