New to Linux? Buy this now!

I have been into Linux for about 5 months now and this was the third book I bought on the subject, I only wish it would have been the first one. True advise from a "used to be newbie", buy this book!

Great Introduction to Linux

I wish this was the first book I bought. There are some real Linux lemons out there, but this book isn't one of them. It does an awesome job of taking you through most of the questions you would have as a new Red Hat Linux user.

Good start-up guide

This book got me up and going in minutes. It goes into good detail about the Gnome interface, which is probably the most user friendly GUI for the Linux beginner. Plus just having the RH Linux 6.0 cd accompany it is enough to make you get this book. Advanced users may not find this book has enough detailed information.

The one book that really got me up and running in Linux

I tried several other books, but only Harold Davis' bookactually gave me all the info I needed to get Linux running. Yes, youcan install Linux right from the CD in the book, by following Harold'sclear and detailed instructions. And don't let the small size of the book or the plentiful illustrations fool you - this book covers a wide range of Linux commands and tools, even setting up a Web server. The best Linux book I've read.

This is THE Linux book!

Wow! I was having real problems getting Linux installed as a dual boot on my Windows computer. This book told me what I needed to know fast.
