Besides which --- `Et al' means `and the rest'...useful for the typing impaired! Anyhoo, maybe Evi will forgive me...maybe not but I still find the book useful, as I reckon you do! My copy sits next to my BSD console at home, right underneath my stuffed chuckie daemon. The part that compares system initialisation is especially useful. I use both getty and ttymon and the book does a good job comparing the two strategies...I wish they'd do a new edition. I like Aeleen Frisch (SP? ;-) and her `Essential System Administration' from Tim O'Reilly but the red sysadm guide is my favourite. (Altho I wince when I see the price tag these days: $65 US!)
