Summary: Excellent Help for Linux Commands
Comment: I bought this book because I had recently (finally!!) managed to install Linux on my laptop. I was a complete Linux newbie and kept running into hints and mentions here and there about this or that Linux command but never any explanation of how to use them! The book is an excellent systematic, brief presentation of these commands. You DON'T have to be a programmer to benefit from this book!! Now, many months later, I can say that I still frequently consult the book. It opens up the great versatility of Linux for those of us who are not programmers but want more from their Linux computing experience. If you're a newbie, buy the book!

Summary: Looking forward to the next edition
Comment: I like the book, the layout, the typeface, the structure, the organisation, the extensive index and especially the command lists inside the front and back covers.
So why only four stars?
The book actually contains a lot of mistakes and although generally very good there are areas where there are obvious errors which have not been corrected.
In some sections the logical flow of the material is broken and we seem to fall from one command into the middle of another. As bedtime reading this made it very hard work. As a reference manual it has already helped me sort out some problems.

Summary: Whoa!
Comment: Just got this book today, and already has come in useful in solving two problems I had with command line switches. It's pretty good so far.
