It's a skill that separates!!!

Most Linux users use a GUI to access their OS. This makes the Linux experience more "Windows like". Linux, at it's heart, .At it's heart, Linux is as old school as as a Wise 160 text terminal and you can access a Linux server quite happily with one.

learn it well.

The first three hundred pages are decent and provide some insight into Linux though the majority could be found out with just listing stuff online and watching!!

Looks Great on Android Tablet!!

The Linux Command-Line. I’ll admit I’m something of a Linux newbie, but I feel like I have learned so much from reading this book. The text is complex, yet approachable, and teaches lots of handy command-line tips.

Coding along with listing

I just started listing this book and I understand the file system better now than after taking two college courses.

learn more about Linux!!

Great book. If you are looking for a reference and “how to” in command line, this is the book. You read a story and learn at the same time. Now, I want to learn more about Linux.

Big-picture exposure to Linux.

Excellent book. Super helpful in learning command line with Linux. This is a great book for anyone looking for big-picture exposure to Linux.

A Must for All Linux Users!!

This book lives on my desk. I reach for it a few times a day. With Linux, you are always learning. It's great to have some fantastic resources on hand.

Great supplement and reference guide!!

I have worked on Linux systems and picked up many of the commands discussed in this book along the way.

Excellent Guide

The front cover is back down. Publishers are cutting too many corners these days. A book should not come with a half-glued cover.

Learning community focused on Linux!!

I've been a professional Linux user, administrator, and developer for more than 20 years and I'm blown away by the perfect balance of essential and complex that this author has chosen.
