Yeah, you have LSAH; the author was talking about the last USAH
``(as USAH)'' edition
For my part, i'm a bit apprehensive about the changes in the art-
work mentioned, since the previous USAH's artwork helped lighten
things up a bit when slogging through some of the more daunting-
ly technical aspects. Of course, there's always the authors'
irreverent and keenly witty observations and narrative style, gen-
erally, to fall back upon, and, as long as i'm evincing my sub-
jective take, i think that USAH 2/e was, along with Stan Kelly-
Bootle's _Understanding_UNIX_ and the _UNIX_Power_Tools_, the
most formative book i've read in my 15-ish years of UNIX sysadmin-
ing; it's where i learned everything i knew about TCP/IP and
routing until finally i picked up Stevens and Doyle much later on,
to start with

I promise the artwork is only more cool and more irreverent!
