A large portion of this book is a tutorial about how to use the Raspbian linux distro (how to install software, navigate through the command line, use vi, etc..). The writing style is very good, but I was hoping for more focus on the Raspberry Pi specifically and not just about linux in general.
The two best chapters were near the end of the book. One of the chapters talks about how to link a webcam up to the Raspberry Pi and the other chapter talks about how to use your raspberry pi as a home theater system.
