Summary: Excellent reference, better than the man pages
Comment: This book was listed as an optional textbook for a Unix (Linux) class that I took, but I quickly realized that there was nothing optional about it. I had to have it. I use this book often since Linux's man pages can be somewhat cryptic to a new user like me. The author does an excellent job of explaining the commands and options in plain english.
Obviously since this is a reference book (basically a Linux dictionary) you will not read it cover to cover. Instead you will find yourself constantly referring back to it, looking up new things you haven't seen before or old things that you can't quite remember. Having this book on your shelf is sort of like having a good Webster's dictionary, it's a must.

Summary: Great Reference book
Comment: This is a great linux book. Easy to find explanation of commands and nice information on shells, etc. If you are looking for a book to learn linux i wouldn't really recommend it. but it's a nice reference. it always stays within 5 feet of my computer
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly Recommended
Comment: ~~
Although not for "Newbies," of my dozen or so Linux books, "Linux In a Nutshell" is the most thourougly concise (is that a contradiction of terms?) of them all.
A virtual "Bible" of commands, options, and information.
This book will stay alongside your computer while the others will remain on your bookshelf.
