Very Thorough!

The book provides a great overview of Linux, C, and Makefile then leads you through an excellent introduction to X Window programming including the mathematics necessary for writing a viable graphics editor!! The appendices are a little long (and exist on the CD) but the book is full of content! Even has a bonus chapter on PostScript for adding a print driver to the project.
