"Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use"

I came across a wonderful addition today, "The Linux Cookbook" by Michael Stutz from No Starch Press.  It's available in print, and online at http://dsl.org/cookbook/

Mostly basic stuff, but even I came across a handy thing or two I didn't know. (for example, the vid: type for the display command!)
