Not for the timid,
By "salexa" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Running Linux (Paperback)
Caveat: this book is not intended for use by those who are afraid of the command-line and of probing deep into their OS to configure things manually, but then again, that is what Linux is all about- getting under the hood! For those with no previous knowledge of Linux but with a desire to really understand and be able to optimize your OS based on your needs, this book is for you. While this book gives a passing nod to the X-Windows GUI interface, it spends most of its time on the command line, wherein the real power lies. From installing the LILO boot loader to recompiling the kernel, this book will guide the reader step by step, taking very little for granted. While the book assumes no previous knowledge of Linux, it does have a steep learning curve, and the subsequent payoff is huge. This is in particular the best first step for newbies to take to prepare to use Linux's extensive, powerful (and free!) development tools (C, C++, Python, Lisp, Perl, Java etc.). My only complaints are the scanty coverage of PPP configuration and configuration files (such as .bashrc and .bash_profile). This book otherwise superlative.

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C,
By Houman Mortazavi (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Running Linux (Paperback)
A great book both as a reference and for beginners. There is another great book, "Linux in a Nutshell", although not this comprehensive and easy-to-read. If you are a beginner, you had better start with "Running Linux" first and take a look at the other one down the road. It is also a great book to have in your library as a reference. Highly Recommended.

Good book to learn from or reference.,

This review is from: Running Linux Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I could see this book saving new users a few months of finding out on their own and is a good reference book as well. It covers a lot of the need-to-know type of things. I've been using Linux for many years and still reference it sometimes.
