Linux Phrasebook by Scott Granneman
After you have learned a few basics about the command line, your next educational step is to increase your "vocabulary" of Linux commands. This book is a handy tool for that purpose. It's physically small and portable, only four and a half by seven inches, but packs a lot of useful information. It's written in a conversational style (not unlike LinuxCommand.org) and covers many useful topics. The design is fairly task-oriented, so it explains what command to use for what task. Each command is explained concisely but clearly. A good value for the money.
Disclaimer: I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.
I have this book and I too can also say it has been valuable in my education of Linux. I have been using some form of Linux now for about a year. Used a few way back when too but never like I do now. When installing wireless on Debian last week this book was what got me through it on the command line.
ReplyDeleteI also agree this book is well written and very helpful quick reference.
