This is a small book: 4 1/4 inches by 7 inches and just 179 pages. It's motto is "short, sweet and essential". It delivers essential info on Linux very compactly. The essential is mostly, but not entirely, carefully selected Linux commands and carefully selected options of those commands.

I'm happy to recommend this book for just about any Linux user who doesn't consider themselves a Linux expert. Hey, I'm not a Linux expert so I'll let them come to their own conclusions.

Personally, I've used the book first to review Linux commands and then as a reference. It's done the job for me.
