Hardware Hacking with Debian GNU/Linux

What is this book about? Well, if you are new to GNU/Linux, and wish to hack AVR microcontrollers, this book should help you do it.

But then, why is it not called `Hack AVR microcontrollers with Debian GNU/Linux’? Well, that was what I thought I would call it, but then I changed my mind.

Maybe, I can show how to design circuits with gEDA, build PCB’s, simulate circuits, do mathematical computations … stuff like that. In that case, this becomes a more general book.

"...Legend has it that the Free Software Foundation (FSF) went looking for someone to coordinate an FSF sponsored release of Linux, and Murdock, then a student at Prudhoe University, responded to the subsequent advert. This version of the story doesn't appear in the histories, so may be apocryphal.
