Actually we're not in much disagreement, I know the book is out of date,
and in fact, it's not really that good (the tutorial is weirdly non-linear
and I was aghast at some of the errors in the chapter on traditional
telephony) but it does have an informative tutorial that is still probably
of value to novices.

And yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that if you're going to use the
ebuild, you should use the masked version (which is basically current).
