Too short, too many ommisions

While I understand the publisher's goal is to have some shorter, more consise hacking/cracking/security books, at least this book in the series has problems fulfilling that promise. I'd strongly recomend sticking with their Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition title, which is much more complete. HN:LUSPR is not portable (it's still 200 some pages) contrary to the title, so what's the point in something that doesn't take time to delve into security in enough depth? Reading just this book will leave huge holes in your security posture.
