Man, that's SOMETHING!

And it sounds like just the kick in the ass I need to get moving on adding Linux to my home machine (other than the Knoppix version Greg so kindly supplied me with earlier).

Gimme a few days to poke into it...things are a bit on the hectic sice right now...and I'll get back to you...prolly with some cash.

Congratulations...this is no small feat!

Thanks!

I'm very pleased by the positive feedback I've been getting here and I thank all of you who have responded thus far.

My concern was that you would find it lacking in rigor and too shallow an approach.

However, that appears to not be the case, to say the least.

Oddly enough, I offered this to the primary publisher for our school and they told me they weren't interested in a Linux networking book. (Of course, it was the overly simplistic presentation of their Linux texts that pushed me to write this one, so it's kind of ironic.)
