im also very interested in that book! its my first linux experience. and im sure dsl is good base to learn linux.
is this book a good reading? does it cover all aspects?

I looked at Knoppix Hacks in the bookstore.  It looked like more Knoppix that dsl but still had some neat things.  Did you know that in the Slashdot book review it said:

Quote
Rankin has collected a "who's who" of Linux hackers to contribute to this book: John Andrews, creator of Damn Small Linux; Fabian Franz, creator of FreeNX server; Alex de Landgraaf, creator of Morphix; Simon Peter, developer of klik; Wim Vandersmissen, creator of ClusterKnoppix and many others no less accomplished, all of whom have contributed to the future of free software/open source development.


I'd love to hear what John has to say about the experience.
