This is a truly great book for any true beginner to Linux.
...The only thing it's missing, however, is a diagram of how the operating system is constructed: with a kernel as the base, with a shell on top, and then TTY's stacked on top of those, and so on. Any future editions of this book should include an engaging diagram and explanation of how the Linux OS -- and thus ANY OS -- is constructed.
But aside from that, it's the most enjoyable TRUE BEGINNER'S book on Linux I've yet to find.

This book is a time sensitive manual. Linux systems basically update their formats every six months (aprox). This means that all of the explicit; commands, photographs and means of approach are null and void of useful info. The book however does give a few instances of help that may lead you in the right direction if you have a more recent system.
