It's a Bible book

While this book may not offer in-depth coverage, the Bible books aren't really meant to. It does, however, do a decent job of doing what it's supposed to do, provide introductory material on a wide range of subjects. Providing in-depth coverage in all of the subjects presented in this book would result in 5,000+ pages.

Lets face it, there's not a lot on Debian out there let alone v2.2. For someone just starting out (yes, beginners can use Debian too) this is probably one of the better books to have as it covers installation through basic system administration to setting up servers.

I'm giving it four stars because anyone with realistic expectations of a Bible-type book will find it to be a valuable reference.
