5.0 out of 5 starsGood description of my favorite operating system.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2016
If you are an active computer user, you must know that there are a big amount of operating systems nowadays. The author of this book says Linux is the best. I agree with him from many points of view. It has zero cost or is cheaper than other OS, it is stable while working, it gives to user or system administrator abilities to tune and maintain it in a widest variety of methods. Developers have released a lot of free programs for Linux. A “big” problem that Linux has (as any other OS, too) is: you have to learn working with it! But people often are lazy and reject new things only because they don’t want make any efforts. Try not to be one of those people. Read this book, compare abilities of Linux with what you have now, and make decision. In the book you will find many topics of help: choosing right distribution, installing operating system and individual programs, and at last, relatively detailed description of Linux commands. I think there is no need for beginners to know all commands at this level. But on the whole, the book is nice and well written.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo basic for a person who knows something, not detailed enough for a total novice
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2018
This book is for complete novices to computers and Linux. It starts with "What is Linux" and "Why Linux". If you have experience with computers but not with Linux this book is likely to be too simplistic for you.

If you are a novice, the command explanation is not very detailed and do not show output in many cases. Complex commands like awk and sed - have just one line! This is not enough details to be too helpful...

The book is written by Linux enthusiast, "Linux is the best Operations System So Far", so it had a little too much, in my opinion, promoting of Linux virtues rather then concentrating on the commands and behaviors. If someone bought this book they already know they want to use Linux, no need to sell its virtues. I hoped for more content.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good guide for the newbies
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2016

I never knew how to use Linux, I am not that good with computers to bother with it. But, I am listening to praises and recommendations all the time and I might even try it.
I got a good grasp on what it is and how to use it from this book. The author goes from the very beginning, explaining everything in a simple manner. I can see that those are all basics so anyone familiar with Linux won't get much out of it, but for me it is good.
The thing I didn't like is the formatting. Something happened with it and sometimes on the beginning of the line there is half of first letter missing, like it is cut off. Nothing major, you can still read it without any problems, but authors should pay attention to stuff like that.

My Linux education is not that good, I've been reading a lot of books lately about it, so far this book enhances my knowledge in the terms on how they explain the details that I need to know about Linux. The author did a good work and she wrote a book in detail in easy language so everyone can understand. This is an excellent guide and helper for those familiar with the Linux for the first time: the author has collected key information and presented it very accessible. I found this book very informative and detailed about Linux, from its description, history, its use, etc. The words, instructions and tips are very basic since this book is really for beginners which make me understand easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Linux is a powerful OS
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2016

I am very versed in using Windows OS, but over the past 10 years I have become somewhat of an advanced basic user of Linux. This book has shed further light on the Linux OS as it refers to various commands used and how to even set it up. The book talks about the different flavors/versions of Linux, like Ubuntu and Red Hat, that are super easy to install and use. It even shows how to install it from a CD or even from within Windows itself.

It would be good if more people learned about Linux. Get the book and enlighten yourself on what I consider to be one of the best computer languages ever created.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linux for Beginners

Almost 2 weeks ago, I received a Linux installer. It's free and was trying to familiarize myself with it. My brother-in-law suggested this crazy stuff I don't know about. He was good enough to convince me it is worth trying. Up until now, I haven't tried it. I actually don't know much about linux. In this book I found many useful stuffs like reasons why should I use it. Interesting that the Linux OS is free while the current one I am using costs a hundred dollars, and no computer slowdowns, and battle malwares and viruses? This is awesome! I also like the fact that it guides you on how to determine the right distribution. For someone new to Linux, this is pretty much good info that will save me from lots of trouble in the future. This book is really useful and prepares me ahead of time of what I need to expect once I install it. Command lines are quite tricky, but this book is a great resource!

My coworker just started using Linux and I bought the book to share with him. The reader expectation was met as the author clearly defined the different flavors of Linux, the versions and its usages.

Linux is a free source software that developers are always improving on and the author went in depth and was very descriptive about this , The application commands line at the back of this book is well detailed and should get any novice or retool any expert up to scratch in managing a Linux software/ Linux is secure and reliabe operating system, check out this book to learn more

Got this book for my sister who wants to have a comparison in what OS to use on her new laptop. Well, upon reading I got quite convinced that Linux can be a great choice too. As discussed in the book the reasons why Linux and its unique features, if you are open and want to give this OS a try then you can come up with a sound decision in using this one. You will learn a lot about this OS through this book and that's what it did especially for someone like me who needs more knowledge about it.

Linux is new to me. I loved how this book is written. This book was really prepared for the beginners. The author had illustrated the history, importance, works, scopes and many more. It also taught me how to install Linux in my system and installing software while using Linux. The book defined each term in detail but still I found it a little bit hard. May be it’s because I am new or maybe I need more practice for it. But it was very fun to follow the command. Must try.
