Good but not perfect
Rated out of 5 stars, March 12th, 2010
The problem with Linux is there are so many "flavours". This book does a great job of explaining the basics and most of the commonalities between the flavours. Its a bit dull though (maybe all operating systems are) and as such I deducted one star. -
Easy
Rated out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2010
Easy, well written, exhaustive, with also a DVD in it.
I'm enjoying it.
Very good if you want to start slowly in the Linux world.

Well written and good structure
Rated out of 5 stars, March 12th, 2009
This book will guide you through the basics of Linux and it does it in a extremely simple but thorough way. I really liked the the sections for system administrators. Great book. -
Good overall summary
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2008
I bought an Acer Aspire One and wanted a Linux book that was fairly agnostic in terms of the version of Linux and that didn't descend into a list of man commands.
This one fits the bill just fine. Check the Table of Contents (no point in me listing it all!)...
