5.0 out of 5 stars
no nonsense guide
I have read all those heavy weighted books like linux bible, master linux etc and find alot of craps in them. But this book althought is only 160pg excluding appendix make learning linux a real simple journey. like the title imply, the author concentrate on the essential stuff using the command line which is a must know for all linux user. I would highly recomend this...

This book is very old!
Not a bad book, but old. The o.s. has gone far beyond the scope of this book. If you have a distro of LINUX newer than 1997 forget it.

The book is very short compared to most books out there, but I found it extremely useful. It summarizes the essential commands without delving heavy into a discussion of X. X may be the most popular administration tool these days, but sometimes it's nice to know where and what to use from the command line. It won't tell you everything (no one book will), but it will get you started if your having trouble.
