Ok, apparently I was wrong, which is good! Is it a generic Linux
programming book with some SDL/OpenGL/PLIB slapped on here and there, or
is it a full fledged book going into depth with only the game-specific
details? Too many Linux books always waste most pages on generic stuff
that could safely be assumed that the reader is familiar with.

I don't mean to critizise your book, as I haven't read/seen it. I just
wish all programmers would first read Linux for Dummies, K&R, Stroustrup
and Stevens, after which they would have most needed knowledge for diving
headlong into a in-depth book on SDL or similar. :-)
