5.0 out of 5 stars
Indispensable Linux reference, December 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
This Walnut Creek CDROM Books' "Linux, the Complete Reference" is a complete printed edition of all the Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs that are accumulated over the years by contributions of LDP volunteers on the internet. This is the single volume that I look up whenever I have questions about Linux, and check out before going out to post a help-me message on netnews.
While none of the articles are written newly for this book (they all exist and available for free on the net), the value of this book is in that it contains all of them in a single paper volume as a reference book.
Since many How-to-Linux type books on the market are second-hand works derived from these LDP documents (exceptions are "Running Linux" and few others), why not look up this original stuff and be done with it? Highly recommended. And don't confuse this one with other similar titles.
