At first, I was very sceptical about the idea of buying a computer book when there are so much great tutorial online.
This book was the first computer book I bought - because many, many people recommended it to me - and it definitely changed my mind about it. This book gives you a much better understanding of tons of things, even if you aren't completely new to Linux (I had been using it for almost a year when I bougt the book). It goes into detail of all the important things *everyone* should know.
If you're looking for a general book about GNU/Linux, look no further: this one is perfect. You should really buy it, I'm 100% sure you won't be dissapointed - at all.
I recommend this book to lots of people who are having problems with GNU/Linux, because it's always useful: first you can simply read it, and it will learn you a lot; afterwards, it's very, very good as a reference manual when you need to quickly look something up (I had samba working in 5 (!) minutes by quickly opening the book on the samba part).
Well, it's certainly a Linux book *every* Linux user should have (yes, I'm completely serious about that). I can't really express what I think about this book, so I tried to do it as well as I could.
