Linux: The Textbook

I have used and taught UNIX and LINUX for over a decade and this is arguably the bext LINUX textbook for entry- and intermediate-level users. The writing style is lucid and examples that work. For a change, this book contains shell scripts that actually work! One of the rare books that elegantly combines operating system concepts with LINUX examples. Simply a first-rate book. I give it two thumbs up and look forward to more books by the author team.

You don't even need to know much about computers. They assume nothing and you never get lost. It is a pleasure to read. A bonus is that, if you like books, you will appreciate the quality of the printing and the material used.

Impressive book, well written, self explaining and covering almost all aspects required by the linux "not-so-expert", as I am. But:One really important part is missing! Almost no discussion is provided on the user profile definition. How the user is related to the group, how can a user be part of several groups, etc... Really, is a good book, but the writers suppose that everybody will use "root"? I hope not. To be useful for the IT Professional, a little more has to be spent on this area.

This is by far the best book I know on Linux. This is equally good for those who want to learn Linux on their own. I give it two thumbs up!

I have read several books but this is the best..
