Since I don't have the book in front of me, this is little more
than a "me too", but I spent some time leafing through it in the
bookstore and it is extremely impressive. This fills a real void
in the modern unix internals area; Magic Garden is good, but I
found Vahalia's approach much more accessible.
(Followups cleavered.)
