Product: 0738203335 One of the best books you can get if you’re interested into a detailed version of the history of the open source movement and its revolution. A must-read for all geeks, programmers, and Linux users. Rating: 5 0738203335 Count: 10

Product: 0066620732 The best book in the topic, and the best thing is that it was written by the Linux creator itself, Linus Torvalds. A extremely detailed and humanized, since it includes malling list messages and dialog, history book. Rating: 5 0066620732 Count: 36

Product: 0066620732 I expected to enjoy this book, but I did not know I would be unable to put it down. I didn’t expect it to be funny (which the first third or so was), nor did I expect it to talk about the meaning of life, or the way money changes people – but somehow manages to do so without getting boring, which I think is a significant achievement. If you’re looking for insight

Product: 0201308215 This book contains information that is just not in more introductory level Linux programming books. It is really Linux specific, rather than a Unix programming book that just has Linux printed on its cover because Linux sells books right now. In addition to covering the traditional interfaces, the Linux specific interfaces that those are built on top of are also covered. Readers should notice that several of the interfaces used in this book are being depreciated infaver of reintrant (thread/signal safe) versions.

Product: 078214389X I have been a casual Linux user for about three years, and a serious student of Linux networking and programming for about a year, so I figured that all I would need to pass the Linux+ exam is a little time with study guide. So I studied this book for two weeks, then went and took the test, and failed. That was my own fault, I didn’t apply myself.

Product: 0596002130 I was searching (and still am) for a technical resource that I could leverage to understand the kernel in a useful way so I could compile custom, optimized Linux kernels specifically for customer server hardware architecture. I was hoping ‘Understanding the Linux Kernel’ would step through the kernel compilation process and explain each section of options during the build process and what all the available options are. Rather, this title drudges along for almost 1000 pages mired in archaic ‘C’ code and trivial low level Operating System constructs.

Product: 013236039X If you’ve decided on Debian/Ubuntu Linux as your distribution and you’re not already a Linux expert then do yourself justice and purchase a copy of this book. It’s thorough and comprehensive; all the while it’s insightful and intriguing. The author does a competent job fleshing out concepts while not drowning the reader in distribution specific jargon (which is a real weakness in some Linux texts). The chapters are logically structured working up to more advanced topics and the author never insults the readers intelligence.
