Product: 159327257X As a non-geek, I’d abandoned Linux years ago, dismissing it as an ugly pain-in-the-butt for a normal non-programmer just looking to get work done. Then I got a nifty little hand-me-down Toshiba laptop that would be great for staying on top of things while traveling. Sadly, the Windows OS on the laptop was toasted (and unstable to begin with). Thanks to Grant’s book that lil laptop is doing everything from email and web browsing to office work and noodling with vintage analog synths via janky MIDI interfaces; this reborn laptop travels like a champ, never hangs up or crashes, and the OS looks GREAT!

Product: 159327257X Linux can be intimidating for a noob. This book acts like a comforting friend to walk you through the process. The book gives you a lot of exercises to do, and they’re fun as well as educational. For instance, in teaching you how to add applications and such to your panels, it has you add things like googly eyes and Wanda the fish. The book also meticulously teaches you how to decorate your desktop which is great for new users because let’s face it, that’s part of why computers are fun.

Product: 047025128X I bought this for my Linux/Unix Shell Scripting class while in College and it would have been perfect, but it lacks some detail as to how to do the lessons our instructor had us do. I heard the instructor tried to have this assigned for use in teaching Linux/Unix Operating Environment and it didn’t work because the co-instructors were still asking questions that were intended for Mark G. Sobell’s A Practical Guide to Linux.

Product: The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook Essential. If you think about using C language on GNU/Linux, you need this. You can always access the man pages of every function, but this book will teach you how the system work, why things are this way, how it was in early UNIXES… Rating: 5 1593272200 Count: 29

Product: Linux Bible If you want to get into Linux, this is your reference guide. Chock full of information and code that will help for years to come. Got a headache from all the information I tried to cram into my pea sized brain. Glad I have the hard copy. Rating: 5 0470230193 Count: 52

Product: Linux for Beginners: An Introduction to the Linux Operating System and Command Line As a long time Windows user, learning the ins and outs of Linux operating system is a little difficult, specially for those of us with no previous knowledge of it. Fortunately, this book helps a lot when it comes to understanding the basics of Linux, particularly the command line operations. I do think this book is best served for those who have a little bit of familiarity with Linux; nevertheless, it’s still a great choice for novice users like me.

Product: 1537736892 First off, I found this book to be very informational. For those who know nothing about this type of operating system, as I myself am fairly new you will definitely benefit from this one. Gives very simplest details on each part of the Linux system. One of the biggest strengths in the Linux systems are the commands which a lot are listed in this book for information, shortcuts, monitoring, and debugging.

Product: 1449339530 I received a review copy of the book as part of the blogger review program. Summary: This book consists of 11 chapters. The first chapter introduces you nicely to the the core topics and lays the foundation for the rest of the book. Files (including some hints on the role of the virtual file system and how they are represented in the Kernel), Input/Output (User buffered I/O, I/O scheduling, Scatter-Gather I/O), Processes (including their creation mechanisms and management), Threads (and how Linux implements them along with a treatment of the POSIX threads library), Memory (Process address space, dynamic memory allocation strategies, and how they work, memory locking) form the core of the book.
