Summary: The Extreme View
Comment: This book offers an extremist view of Linux.
It shows you how to do your everyday computer
work using ONLY open source software - many
Linux books take a much less "pure" view of
the system. But that's not all. It can also
claim what others can't. The dirty little
secret of Linux books is most authors use M$
to write and publish them! But Stutz is a
GNU/Linux fanatic, and he wrote and produced
the whole thing with ONLY Open Source software!
This in effect means that the book itself is
an example of the kind of things you can do
with Linux. And if that wasn't enough this book
is also Open Source! If he is right that the
Open Source movement is about to transform book
publishing like it transformed software, then
this book is a glimpse at the future.

And by the way, Linux Cookbook is packed with
lots great tips! It is a thorough guide for
learning how to use any Linux system, regardless
of your distro or hardware. It is refreshing to
see such an extreme view brought to the everyday
user. Dare I suggest that it may one day be
regarded as a "classic for the masses".

Summary: Just the ingredents this Linux chef needed.
Comment: Even though this book is written over the keyboard of a Debian system. There is a lot of good usable command line utilities and programs that would be usefull on, I can only imagine, any distribution. This book has, so far, been actually fun book to go through, and I have learned a lot of commands and other things that I didn't know existed before. This is really a great book for the linux user who is ready to make the step from the "newby" stage to the intermediate stage, and beyond.

I am glad I got bought this book.!!!!!!!!

Summary: Outstanding Linux book!
Comment: * * * * *

This book may have had Debian as its base, but, this book can easily be used with any distribution. I have been using Linux for six years now, and I was able to learn commands that I didn't know even existed. Don't pay any attention to those who will give this book only three stars simply because they didn't read the books discription and bought the wrong book. This one is a real winner. I antipipate that this book will be in my library for some time to come because most of the books contents go over stuff that will most likely not change very much over time.
