Yeah, I found that the book was an invaluable resource for such things
(though I had little use for the information, for the most part, but I was
glad to have it in case I did).  I would have liked to see a _little_ bit
more info about the specifics of using MkLinux (as opposed to other
versions of Linux), but I found that a good Linux book covered most of what
I needed to know, so I was happy.

Oh yeah, and MacPerl r001z!  ;-)
