Looks nice.

A few points:

1. What's the point in keeping all of those files under version control?
Why not just use some FTP directory?

2. The book seems to use screenshots extensively. I can't copy text from
a screenshot. Please try to use actual text rather than a screenshot if
the window in case is a terminal. This will also greatly reduce the size
of the file (well, not really, as you keep all the history in the file).

3. You write about ls:

ls מקבלת תווים מיוחדים שתפקידם לייצג תבנית חיפוש  , סימן הכוכב* מייצג
מספר כלשהו של תווים

I hope you explain later on that this is not ls that interperts those
wildcards.

4. rar is in the same class as tar (archiver) not as gzip (simpple
file/stream compressor). Nobody really uses rar, and there's really no
use mentioning it (you have not mentioned "rar-nonfree" and where
exactly rar 3.x archives are supported. Let's just avoid the topic
altogether). Maybe consider mentioning zip / unzip.


One other question: does Docbook work well for Hebrew? Anybody tried it?
