This review is from: Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible (Paperback)
I have been a linux enthusiast for 7 years, a system administrator for 4. This provides concise explanations with outstanding illustrations that provide a comprehensive list of switches for each of the commands discussed, I really wish there was an electronic copy available.....
This should be the first book you purchase when looking to become a command line ninja.

This review is from: Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible (Paperback)
A good introduction to the Linux back end and a thorough description of all the basic Linux commands. From my perspective I would have liked to see less on alternate shells and more on the additional commands available as open-source routines, but on the whole this covered the field extremely well for beginners and occasional scripters who need reminding.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible (Paperback)
I'm a computer science student but I have not previously focused much on shell scripting, but this book has greatly aided me in:
- understanding the history of command line interfaces and exactly what the Linux terminals are emulating - the basics of the major shells - administrating a Linux system with shell scripts I find myself referencing this book more often then the textbook I was assigned for class.
