Story
Linux is a vast OS. As such, trying to learn everything at once will be overwhelming; you have to break everything up into small bits so that you can "swallow" with ease. And that’s what this book does; to ensure you don’t get overwhelmed by the vast amount of information on Linux out there. It doesn’t make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux and takes a step-by-step, logical, and systematic beginner friendly approach to all concepts, commands and jargon to ensure at the end, you can start using Linux as if you learned it years ago!

Publisher's Summary
If you want to learn how to use Linux, but don't know where to start, listen on.
Knowing where to start when learning a new skill can be a challenge, especially when the topic seems so vast. There can be so much information available that you can't even decide where to start. Or worse, you start down the path of learning and quickly discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you with more questions than answers.
Linux for Beginners doesn't make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux. You need no prior knowledge to benefit from this audiobook. You will be guided step by step using a logical and systematic approach. As new concepts, commands, or jargon are encountered, they are explained in plain language, making it easy for anyone to understand.
Here is what you will learn by listening to Linux for Beginners:
- How to get access to a Linux server if you don't already
- What a Linux distribution is and which one to choose
- What software is needed to connect to Linux from Mac and Windows computers
- What SSH is and how to use it, including creating and using SSH keys
- The file system layout of Linux systems and where to find programs, configurations, and documentation
- The basic Linux commands you'll use most often
- Creating, renaming, moving, and deleting directories
- Listing, reading, creating, editing, copying, and deleting files
- Exactly how permissions work and how to decipher the most cryptic Linux permissions with ease
- How to use the nano, vi, and emacs editors
- Two methods to search for files and directories

It served its purpose.
If you could sum up Linux for Beginners in three words, what would they be?
organized,clear,concise
Would you ever listen to anything by Jason Cannon again?
Yes.
What does Brian E. Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The problem is that I don't think I would have read the book. That is why audiobooks are so important. They allow the undisciplined to use the otherwise unproductive time in the car to pick up a new skill. I didn't believe it was possible to create an effective audiobook on this topic, but it was done
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This is not a book for the big screen.

Great audiobook if you immerse yourself in Linux
I used Solaris/IRIX in the 90's and I use Git Bash today. The parts of this book that "clicked" covered areas I've used before -- vi, ls, chmod. The parts outside of my experience motivated me to purchase the Kindle version of this book as a companion reference.
I appreciate the brevity of the book. Even as an audiobook, it still makes clear what one can do with Linux. I just need to cement that understanding with deliberate practice.

Great succinct introduction to linux
Where does Linux for Beginners rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the best technical audio book I've listened to to date - the content is clearly delivered. Technical examples have an exquisite balance between being overly simple (dull) and unnecessarily complicated (so that you can't follow them in audio format). If you're familiar with DOS and have a vague understanding of the existence of Linux then this book is for you. There's enough content to listen to in one go, scattered with more advanced examples you'll want to return to once you've had some time to experiment with the basics.
