This book is an absolute must for the administrator considering using Linux in the real world or the person wanting to begin to 'really' know the workings of Linux.

Taking the reader from the beginning, a non-Unix user is made to feel very at ease with Linux and comfortable in an understanding of how to use it.

By presenting the reader with the basics and an overall understanding of Linux, this book is an excellent step to more advanced and thorough literature on Linux. A job well done.
