2nd edition? Damn; I hate to pay for stuff but I'll pony up for this as the first edition was a "must have". If I was stranded on a desert island with nothing more than a computer, broad band, a Starbucks Grande Latte and Pink, this would be my next requested item. Let me rephrase this: if I had to get on a deserted island with a Starbucks Grande Latte and Pink by configuring a Linux based computer I would want this book.
