There is always something I need to know about Linux. Can't seem to leave well enough alone and then I need to do something else to either make it better or fix the last change made. Also find out how to look up things I never knew were there. Very happy with this book.

Fairly complete overview, but often obtusely written. The index is woefully inadequate.

Very Necessary Reference Book

Though much of this book is concerned with non-GUI programs, it gives me an excellent coversge of commands that get things done in a direct and speedy way. I have used a lot of those commands already. I am new to linux but many, many years ago i worked in a unix environment and they are similar. If you want to really learn linux, this book should be on your shelf.

Great book

Great book for beginners and intermediates. From start to finish, it felt like a teacher teaching a class but it's not as boring as a real class. The author tries to keep the readers into the book and it's very useful. Good step into the door of system administrator as it teaches you variations of Linux but mostly focuses on RHEL/Centos and Fedora as it is more company standard. Highly recommended.

Good Review

This is a good source to review and deepen your knowledge of Linux from the command terminal. While it's geared for RHLE and Fedora, it works quite well with other distros with very little modification to the material. Well worth the read if you've already dealt with Linux at an introductory level and you want to sharpen your skills a bit.

Colegas,

Nací a la programación con UNIX pero soy un Microsoft Solutions Provider. Al ver este libro decidí ver que novedades traía la nueva versión ya que ya tenía la versión 4 de 1995 en mis manos.

Esta versión contiene muy buena información, sobre todo el DVD y CDROM que incluye con las 18 versiones de LINUX para provar antes de instalar me parece una muy buena idea, sobre todo para los usuarios que no tienen equipos fijos y asiduos al clud computing.

Las partes que tiene muestran un enfoque estructurado desde la selección de la versión, hasta la programación fundamental dentro de LINUX. Comparando con la antigua versión que tengo (4ta) que era un compendio de HOWTO este libro vendría a ser la versión para conocer los nuevos sistemas de LINUX disponibles

En resumen, esta fue una buena compra que no me arrepiento de haberla hecho. Si tienen la oportunidad adquieran el libro.

Colleagues,

I was born to the programming with UNIX but I am a Microsoft Solutions Provider.

When seeing this book I decided to see that new features brought the new version since it already had version 4 of 1995 in my hands.

This version contains very good information, mainly the DVD and CDROM that it includes with the 18 versions of LINUX to try before installing seems to me a very good idea, mainly for the users who do not have stationary equipment and assiduous to clud computing.

The parts that it has show an approach structured from the selection of the version, to the fundamental programming within LINUX. Comparing with the old version that I have (4ta) that was a HOWTO compendium this book would come to be the version to know the new systems LINUX available.

In summary, this was a good purchase that I do not regret it to have done. If they have the opportunity they acquire the book.

Informative, but selective.

It's a good book over all, I have been using linux for 5 years now and mainly use Arch, so a majority of this book was irrelevant.Read more
