System programming is important and after reading this and doing many of the exercises I fail to say I learned much that I needed from it. This was used in a hybrid course that was a mixture of C and linux. I recommend just going to Kernighan and Ritchie for C and looking for systems level understanding elsewhere as it will likely be more up to date and have what you need.
