4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Tips and Tricks Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux!: I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Internet) (Paperback)
I just bought this book. It contains 50 tips and tricks on using Linux. It also includes a CD-Rom with RPM's (for Red Hat 6.x) and lots of .tgz files. It has usefull info like how to undelete files and info on what applications are available to make Linux a real desktop OS ("real" replacement for Windows 98). It's a book for everyone and most software mentioned in the book is on the CD-Rom included. This book is definitly worth the price. Buy it!

Excellent book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux! I Didn't Know You Could Do That...(tm) (Paperback)
I have been using Linux for the last 5 years, and I have read quite a few books. I read this book just to refresh what I have learned throughout the years, and I can honestly say, this book is the only one I have actualy been able to sit down and read. This is a must-read for anyone getting into linux, or just want a refresh. It covers many useful topics, and is very easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars
lots of software and documentation,
By Eric (phoenix, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linux! I Didn't Know You Could Do That...(tm) (Paperback)
I loved this book. The software the author talks about is on the cd rom with documentation! There are a lot of nice extras on the cd-rom. Great sense of humor and kind of hard to put down. Twice already I've used it as a reference. I will look to buy other books from this author. I can't believe he covers both command line and gui apps that either do or almost do the same thing! Now I can get work done no matter what with my small home network.
