Book Reviews of Linux in a Nutshell, 5th Edition
Book Review: Upgrade your reference books along with your OS.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're an administrator or developer who works with Linux on a regular basis, it's time to bring your reference books up to date. This 5th edition reflects important changes and improvements to the Linux and its key utilities, including commercial network services and community update services. Bequeath your 3rd edition to someone just getting his or her feet wet.Book Review: One very useful reading
Summary: 5 Stars
As my experience suggests this highly useful book does very well as a companion for "UNIX Essentials and UNIX Core" DVD. While it is nicely written it is a pleasure to read and follow. As I followed someone's review, I have coupled it with the DVD and they supplement one another quite nicely! Concise format makes it easier to find topics as required.Book Review: Excellent Reference Book
Summary: 4 Stars
When you need to know what a Linux command does and all the options you can use with it, this book is the one to buy. I have two other books on how to install and use Linux. They teach you about the integrated software and some of the operating system commands for specific actions. This book details the commands and syntax in depth.Book Review: The best Linux reference out there
Summary: 5 Stars
Since it's not possible to remember all of the Linux commands, a nice, big user's guide is very useful. This one is the best, since it's clearly written and all of the commands are covered in alphabetical order. The level of writing exceeds most other computer manuals. With this manual at your side, you can use Linux with ease.Book Review: Critique In a Nutshell
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has a LOT of technical info. However, finding info by keyword in the index of the book was for myself kind of frustrating. That's why I gave it 3 instead of 5 stars. Plus, this is not what I would call a beginners book. As I move along in Linux though, I believe this book will become valuable.
