Best newbie books I've found
31 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
This is the book I've been looking for. It has most of the "need to know" stuff from the man pages along with easy to understand explanations. I'm working my way through it but it makes a great reference too. I've seen too many books that spend way too much time on installation and not enough on operation. This one gets right to the CLI from adding users to setting up dns and fetchmail. If you're looking for a book on xwindows, this ain't it. If you're a newbie looking to learn the command line...get this book.

Authors make learning Linux unintimidating
21 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
The authors did a good job of introducing newbies to Linux. I found it very easy to follow. The book makes Linux easy to understand. Granted there is a lot more to learn, but that is not the scope of the book.
