Please, it wasn't a flame, it was just a small rant aimed at noone in particular, I was only Identify a weekness in the documentation of Linux.
What the hell are the "Introduction" sections for, if not to explain? They usually lay down the basic concepts in really easy language. In fact, it irritates me by being a bit too "Noddy" sometimes.
How To Design Programs from PLT Rice (IIRC) is a quite good intro to programming. I'm biased.
Other than that, I have a Babani book on C (for when I have to hack and I can't tell my pointer from my elbow) and an old Linux book which came with my second distribution (right about when I realised that CDs in books are really out of date when you buy them).
