This is a great book. One that is destined to be on every Linux users desk, or at least book shelf. It has a little bit of something for everyone. Shell scripting (bash, csh and tcsh), vi and emacs, sed and gawk, GNOME KDE and fvwm2. What I likes best was the almost 400 pages of Linux command reference. I still consider myself a newbie and this sure helps out, just flipping through it and finding out not only what new commands are, but how to use them as well (Though not always the best way to use them, for instance: there is an easier way to use tar then is documented). I do have one recommendation to make this great book better. Place the Linux command reference in the back of the book, this would make it easier to read the other 14 chapters, and make more sense to have the reference in the back. Just my .02! |
