Several months ago my second book came out, Hacking Knoppix. Prior to that, O'Reilly released a (good) book on the same subject titled Knoppix Hacks. Yup, the two sure sound alike. On the CWE-LUG list, JT asked a good question: "What is the differentiators between the books? Do they have core themes or do they just deal with different hacks?" Robert - who was the tech editor for Hacking Knoppix and also wrote an appendix, had this to say as an answer. He nailed it, IMHO.

Here's my take:
Knoppix Hacks: a large collection of small hacks
Hacking Knoppix: a small collection of large hacks
So, Hacking Knoppix goes into more depth on a fewer hacks, with a fair amount of emphasis on remastering.
I think the two books complement each other well. But perhaps I'm biased. :)
