I thought about generalizing the information, but if I do that I'll have other problems: 1. The reader would bump into many more problems because the book is less focused. It's about installing a whole system, so many things can go wrong already, and I wanted to reduce the friction by being precise. To be precise, I needed to know what tools the reader would install. 2. I use these tools because I know they can teach a lot of fundamentals. This means that, when you're done with the book, you should hopefully have enough knowledge to swap anything you want, even the Linux distro. I think you're on something about the sample. You can look at my blog though, there are many free articles (look at the "mouseless" tag) which are more general and capture maybe better the essence of the book.
