         | Yeah, I was also confused by this. What kind of e-book can't be
         | downloaded or viewed as some type of file? If we relax the
         | definition of book to include this, how is a book different
         | from a set of webpages?
         | 
         | The content looks good, but it's hard to find things when it's
         | spread across so many individual pages.

         | The link provided is the TOC of the book in website form; the
         | "Article Sections"[1] and "Commentary Sections"[2] links lead
         | to more conventional sub-TOCs (or are supposed to, they seem to
         | be incomplete). It doesn't look like there is a download.

       | Cool, but when is the commentary part going to be added?

       | 
       | On two unrelated notes: I still remember the "Lions commentary on
       | UNIX" that I bought in 1997 only because it was mentioned in the
       | movie "Hackers". Being able to read through lots of pages of
       | annotated source code was very entertaining. Besides its content,
       | the book also stood out in my shelf (pun obviously intended) due
       | to its unusual dimensions.
       | 
       | I also remember the kernel 2.0.36 mentioned on the page. For some
       | reason, this was the last kernel version that I conciously was
       | aware of. (I think I even used its release as an excuse to not
       | attend a party. A fact, that some of my friends still remember
       | today (I still consider this a rather good reason)).

         | I suspect you are not talking about this lot:
         | https://www.lionsrugby.com/ - The British and Irish Lions Rugby
         | team. ... oh Mr Lions, sorry.
         | 
         | I kicked off on Linux with a book with a Yggdrasil CD on it
         | around 1997 or 8 and the kernel was 1.something. egcs was all
         | the rage then too.
