"This welcome addition to the Linux bookshelf provides real insight into the black-art of debugging. All too often debugging books concentrate solely on the tools but this book avoids that pitfall by concentrating on examples. The authors dissect and discuss each example in detail; in so doing they give invaluable insight into the Linux environment."Richard J Moore, IBM Advanced Linux Response Team-Linux Technology Centre

Customer Reviews & Comments
I'm not sure I've ever given a book 5 stars, but this hits me where I live. The only complaint I have is that the title is misleading: it should have been "Learn how to troubleshoot any Linux problem you ever see" or something like that. I once thought I'd like to write a book on trouble shooting and problem diagnosis. I'm glad I didn't, because this would make me feel like I had wasted my time. This is truly excellent. I have already learned more here than I have anywhere in the past year, and look forward to spending a lot more time with this.
