Interesting, but somewhat sloppy
Skimming a few chapters, I've found two errors and some possibly misleading stuff. The dd utility isn't named for "data dumper", but for the data definition directive in IBM JCL, which was ported to Unix way back in the day, to read IBM MF tapes.
Swap partitions can be > 128 MiB.
The partition sizing is somewhat on the small side for contemporary drives (though economics in South Africa may dictate something less than the 20 - 120 GiB systems now common in the US).
Note that I do like the concept. Updates and corrections are critical though. One role for the TWiki I'd like to have is a web which addresses Linux administration. Iterative development and review, all that stuff.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?
Keep software free. Oppose the CBDTPA. Kill S.2048 dead.
