Linux.com

Agreed, neither the (almost inexistent) story nor the drawings were even remotely captivating... That said (and it has been said a lot of times in this comments), I really cannot see someone interested in learning Linux picking this up, as it really seems it is targeted at really the very basics, and the easiest way of doing things, all of which can be read and learned for free, by only doing a simple search on a web search engine, the (apparently) non-existing story, and the big explanations will turn this into a Ubuntu manual with pictures, and who wants to read that? I'm seeing (maybe, I'm not even sure if I'm being serious here) a veteran user picking this up for curiosity, but a new user serious to learning Linux will not take such a leap, when he can 'securely' just buy a more complete book, or search the forums. It strikes as kind of funny, I'm imagining the penguin in the book talking about free of charge software and documentation, as well as users doing it for free on their spare time, then the reader seeing the price tag on the book and go "hey, what the heck", if this were a web comic, or at least free, then I could see people actually checking this out, and it appearing in blogs, and maybe some more generalistic linux news "a different approach to learning linux", but really, as it is...
