Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Ubuntu and Debian Power Users

Wiley, 2007

Just found this one.
I just picked this book up at a local Borders (cheaper here, btw). After looking through their entire section trying to find an up-to-date book on Linux commands for the purposes I wanted, I chose this one. Although Ubuntu is often called "Linux for Human Beings" or "Linux for non-geeks", I wanted to get geekier with the command line and have better control over my Ubuntu PCs. This book is ...

A Good Start on Moving to Linux
I find it strange to say that an eleven hundred page (plus) book is really only an introductory book. Unfortunately that's the truth. What you get here is a bunch of stuff. For one thing, you get the operating system itself. And while you can download the coftware free, you'd better be prepared for a pretty long wait, at 56K about a hundred hours for the four 650 MB image disks. I say ...

A very good deskside book!
This book is a very good desk side companion. This is not your typical "power users" book that is just a raw dump of a ton of esoteric commands that go in one eye and out the other. It is actually useful commands put into an understandable context, organized by classes of activity. I've been using Linux for many many years yet I'm learning, and using, new things from this book. I would highly ...

One of Two Must Have Embedded Linux Books
I first started my journey into DSL via another book; Craig Hollabaugh's "Embedded Linux, Hardware, Software, & Interfacing," 2002, ISBN 0-672-32226-9. This book is extremely valuable, if you wish to know how to put together a small single purpose embedded Linux system. However, by the time that I began to read it in 2005 (marriage, moving), it was beginning to show it's age. Most of the links to ...

Perfect Book for Power Users Wanting to Extend Their Skills
Hey folks... I've been an RHCE since 2000, training RHCEs since 2003, and "doing Linux" since 1996. What I like: The three big things that I like about Linux Toolbox are: 1) It concisely shows you how to use the Linux command line to solve many of the most common personal and administrative tasks. 2) It uses the proven "learn by doing" method to show the reader how to just "get stuff ...

Great book for newbie or experienced
I bought this book because I had bought the boxed version of Caledera Open Linux 2.4 and was a complete newbie to Linux and wanted guidance...This book delievered just that and more. It helped me get Linux installed and working on my system and even connected to the net to check e-mail and update my system....I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn linux and tinker with it while ...

Comprehensive, detailed and easy to use
If you are working with FC6 you have to have this book. It will be as decorative as the other OS-books on your shell. All major aspects are covered, all got its necessary depth and it gets you started quickly and painlessly. Specific problems and other specialities you wouldn't expect anyway from a general purpose book.

This is really a great book
There's so much to say, this book is perfect and Amazon.com completes the equation. First of all this book has it all, it really reaches out for all audiences with different levels of experience. It goes around explaining stuff related to Linux directly and talking about general information related to the corresponding field. I mean I am still an undergraduate student who is a MCSE, but hasnt ...

Linux Bible 2007 Edition: Boot up Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, SUSE, and 11 Other Distributions (Bible)

5 reviews
Christopher Negus

Wiley, 2007

Very helpful
The book is an excellent overview of Linux. I highly recommend the Linux Bible to get an idea of what is available in linux and to chose a distro. However, and this is not a flaw in the book, to become more that a windozer, one must read at least, Garrell's, "Introduction to Linux", available online as opensource. Without proper maintenance linux will soon be clogged, useless and hacked, but ...

Hungry Minds, 2001

A good start
Being an Systems Engineer, this book gets you started, but there's more to ask for. Don't get me wrong, if you're not familiar with Linux/Unix this is a great book. It's explained in plain English with easy to follow instructions. For us who wants more hard core, we can always use google.com.

Great Initiation into Linux --for a Newbie
I am a Newbie to Linux. I've used MS products throughout the years, and finally decided to try Linux. From all of the reviews I had read, I chose the "Red Hat Linux 9 Bible," by Christopher Negus to begin my journey. Luckily, I read-through about one-third of the book before trying the installation. I successfully installed Linux on a Compaq Presario, although the BIOS always over-rides any ...

Wiley, 2004

Troubleshooting Linux yourself
Linux systems have become easy enough to use that you no longer have to be a computer expert to operate a Linux desktop or set up a simple server. However, making the leap of faith to bet your organization on Linux requires a decision to: * Purchase expensive support contracts from Red Hat Inc., Novell, Inc. or some other Linux vendor, or * Take the responsibility to configure and ...

very in depth book about the latest edition of Fedora and RHEL
This is a great textbook. The author goes all out in this book to explain how to use Fedora productively. He explains every little corner you can possibly think of. From how the file system is set up and different from windows to setting up different types of servers. The book is easy to follow along and is pretty much step by step the further you get into the book. I recommend this book to ...

BSD UNIX Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD

Wiley, 2008

A comprehensive listing of useful commands
This book makes a nice addition to my FreeBSD collection. It contains a comprehensive listing of useful commands collected in a single source. The book is fairly compact so it doesn't take up much room on your desk. The softcover makes it easy to quickly flip through the sections. For the price, this book was well worth it!

Killer!
Came right on time. Live CD and Installation DVD are great. This was my first attempt at Linux on the desktop in 10 years and this book was great from the beginner's aspect and as I progress through understanding more it's become a great aid when I opt to read away from the computer.

A great book for people starting out in Linux
This books pretty much covers it all. From networking, mysql and dns to gaming, video/audio, office tools, programming, etc. etc. Easy to read, well written, as I am from the Faroe Islands, and have no trouble what so ever reading it. I like the "learn by example" method used throughout the book, which will have you exploring Linux Fedora on your own, in the minimal amount of time. Also, ...
