Bryan:
IMHO, it's probably the best single desktop reference to basic Linux, and 
should be on every Linux user's bookshelf. But it isn't a textbook -- 
O'Reilly's Running Linux would be a better choice for that. Both do have some 
shortcomings, however. First -- as with all deadtree publications -- they 
can't cover the Hot New Stuff because of the long lead times inherent in book 
publishing. Also, they don't cover much distribution-specific material. For 
example, don't go looking in Nutshell about yum. For that kind of material, 
it _might_ be worthwhile to consider one of the more specialized titles such 
as Sams' Fedora Unleased series. Again, though, you will run into the lead 
time problem. Oh wait, that's why we have a mailing list and archives, and 
the excellent online sources recommended by Stuart Sears in his post.
