As is often the case with books that I myself have written, I rather liked this book. It's a technical manual that covers setting up a multimedia studio on Slackware Linux. In other words, it's exactly the process I go through when configuring my own computers for the stuff that I do professionally in the multimedia world (studio and location photography, video editing, compositing, audio correction, etc; working at a film production facility, I tend to do a little bit of everything as long as it involves digital images or sound).
The book also covers, in-depth, how to use Qtractor, the Digital Audio Workstation, and Kdenlive, the video editor. The best part about all of this is that it's free and non-commercial, so if you're anti-corporate / anti-consumerist, then this book, and Linux in general, is definitely something you should check out.
