Fantastic resource.
I was having trouble writing a Linux driver for a gaming keyboard I own and this book helped me figure it out. I bet my driver is still sub-par in many ways, but it works!
Also, learned a lot about Linux administration and got a lot of wrong assumptions corrected that I've picked up over the years. A lot went over my head too, but that is okay. This is a great side of desk reference and very clearly written, unlike many confusing tutorials and message boards online. Sorry cats, you get what you pay for and sometimes free kinda stinks. Buy this book and save yourself some time.
