Must Have

I read this book when I was beginning to learn Linux. I would recommend this book to anyone who has at least enough knowledge to install Linux. I found this book to be all encompassing. It includes topics I never came across in other Linux beginners books including the Linux boot process etc. The only down side to this book is the CD-ROM which sports the very little known Linux Pro Distribution.

A deadly book!

I have been looking for a book that explains how linux and the unices work. This book has finally provided me with the sort of information that I wanted. I am the sort of person who prefers to understand the fundamentals of the OS and then I can extrapolate enough from there to figure it out. This is not a "how-to" book, it's a book that gives you the basics, the rocks you need to stand on. By the way, in reference to the user above, if you don't know how to use the shell and you want you run linux, you should learn right now!If you want to understand Linux and don't just want to push a button to make things work while not understanding what the button does, this BOOK IS FOR YOU!
