Danjou: Thoughts and rambling on the X protocol

"But worse still, the old UNIX books are all but useless on a 'modern' linux and there are no replacements available, i.e. it is all scrounge around on obscure wikis and blogs for docs that are either out of date or describe an even newer version than your distro shipped."
You are probably true, but maybe there is hope not so far... I really enjoyed spending the last decade reading something like LWN.net - I do not lack so much of the old Unix books that were deprecating at an incredibly fast pace (and were so expensive btw).
