Issue Author's Response
Chapter 3, page 62, line 6. Shouldn't the command be:
tar -xvf /file.tar -C /somedir
The - in front of the C is optional, it works both ways.

Thanks for your input,
Sander
Chapter 2, page 35, last line. Shouldn't it read 'text\>'? Yes absolutely! Thanks for your input, I 'll make sure this gets fixed in the next edition.
Ch 3 pg 59 apt-get command to install gnome ends in error message about missing gnome-desktop-enviroment. Using build-dep with apt-get offers no solution. The problem with this is that it is really hard to install a GUI on Ubuntu Server, as it is not even supported. If you really want to do it, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop provides an option, it just installs all of the ubuntu desktop packages on your server. I would recommend though to use SSH to start graphical applications remotely.
