I just want to say how much I enjoyed reading this book! It really filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge of Linux, and makes for an excellent reference book as well. There are many things in this book I picked up that I probably never would have stumbled across anywhere else. The book was worth every penny!
The format of the book and the many examples and illustrations are very helpful for self-teaching. I found the book to be a very easy read, having some prior knowledge about PC hardware and the fundamental commands and functions of Linux.
I would not recommend this book to someone who is installing or using Linux for the first time. It requires some familiarity with topics that are best achieved with hands-on practice. But once this is acheived and it's time to move on, definately consider this book.
I recommend this book highly for anyone who is studying for either LPI or Linux+ certifications. Even if you aren't interested in certification right now, consider this book as a handy reference guide to Linux administration.
It was definately the most helpful resource I have ever come across. Compared to the many other certification books and reference books I have read, this one was a dream come true at half the cost. Anyone who has had some exposure to the installation and use of Linux can benefit from this book. Even experts will enjoy it as a quick read and a good reference and review.
