In chapter 3. Installing Debian the right way on page 101:
Item 3 in section 3.3.4 states: "If the file [.xsession] is present, ./.Xsession is tried."
This should be: "If the file [.xsession] is not present, ./.Xsession is tried."
The .Xsession file is an alternative to .xsession, but considered only when the latter is not present.
Mark Gibbs, Network World (28 Nov 2005): This book is unusual in that it is much more than a technical discussion - it delves into the philosophy of the system, explains how someone becomes a recognized Debian developer and details the way that Debian is licensed. That's not to say the book doesn't get technical. It provides a very well-written, soup-to-nuts explanation of how Debian is organized; how to install, configure and modify the system; and how to administer and secure it. Excellent and highly recommended.
