Thanks Jonathan. John R Pierce also mentioned that it is hosted in Russia.
I for one would definitely avoid this source. If I were to set myself a
goal to get fundamental book I would wait a bit, as some clever people may
recommend something else on this list, then choose what looks most
fundamental to you. I would ask John Pierce and Jonathan Billings: what
would you, gentlemen, recommend for the one who decided to become really
very Unix (or Linux) person - understanding in-depth how the system works?
Other experts (I know there are many on this list)?
Thanks.
