Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I've recently been interested in the project, so I sent an subscribe mail to join the mailing list, but I don't get any reply. I searched Google, other people were having the same problem.
In addition, looking at the mailing list archive, the latest thread was posted 2 years ago.
Is the project aborted?
Well, their git shows recent activity, so I don't think the project is abandoned.
Update. I also see recent activity on their mailing lists. Which one have you tried to subscribe to?
I signed up for dev and news. btw as soon as I read this, I got a reply mail notification. It's weird.
Anyway, it’s good to be able to receive news now
I didn't think about checking the git activity. Thank you for your reply.
I have used a couple of their projects: dwm st, one or more of the info bars for dwm and the browser. I like the philosophy but some of the software is too bare bones for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot dmenu - it's awesome. I used it in fluxbox; just make a keyboard shortcut for it. Simple and effective. I think I even donated to the project overall. I like the philosophy.
Their terminal (st) was using deprecated APIs that caused it to crash when displaying colored emojis, last I checked. That was when I decided that they didn't deserve their good reputation.
I never liked the terminal. Too much patching needed to make it useable. Yeah, xterm is supposed to be a coding nightmare but personally I could care less, it works.
