What's New in the Newest Linux in a Nutshell?
I ran into Stephen Figgins at OSCON in San Jose last summer and he told me he'd been working on the 6th edition of Linux in a Nutshell. Last Friday we met in Kansas at a coffee shop to discuss the new release.
Stephen lives about two miles from me in Lawrence, Kansas, and works less than a block from our Linux Pro Magazine office. I first met Stephen a few years ago at his house – his wife provided after-school care for my daughter. It's a small geeky world after all.
Stephen says that the most noticeable changes in the latest Linux in a Nutshell are the git and virtualization chapters. He says, "The git chapter was written by Avery Pennarun, who we think did a great job matching the style of the other chapters." He adds, "The virtualization chapter offers an overview of setting up a server for running multiple virtualized systems – KVM and Xen are covered here, as well as the libvirt command-line tools used to control them."
