Product: Linux for Beginner’s: Complete Guide for Linux Operating System and Command Line We got a Linux Server at home and I always struggled with it to a point that I was thinking about changing it to another system. I’m not coming from a IT background but my work just requires this server to run. With the help of this book I now got a much better understanding for the process and for the first time I got the impression that I’m able to understand whats really going on in this operating system.

Product: Linux Device Drivers Even though the third edition is showing its age - it covers kernel version 2.6.10, which is terribly old - in my opinion this is still the best book on the subject. Generally, it is not possible to create an up to date tutorial for programming the Linux kernel, since it changes constantly. SO, the key is to introduce the reader to the way of thinking necessary in order to understand and develop for the kernel.

Product: 111846446X I just finished reading this book; it is an excellent introduction to the Raspberry and to Python. The Hardware Hacking and Add-On Boards chapters provide everything you need to get started. If you are new to Linux, chapters 2 - 6 alone are worth the price of the book. The explanations are well written and presented in a manner that is easily digestible by a Linux novice. I particularly liked the chapter about the Scratch programming language.

Product: 1593270348 This was a good intro book in 2004, but now it’s hopelessly out of date. If you intend to use any of the modern versions of Linux, this book will be of very little help. Rating: 2 1593270348 Count: 13

Product: Linux Bible Excellent information on the Linux operating system. If you use Linux, this is a perfect go to book for any information. I recommend this book and the Linux OS. I used Linux in place of Win 10…… just too many problems. Rating: 5 0470230193 Count: 52

Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction Excellent book, makes no difference if you are an extremely knowledgeable Linux person or just someone who is interested and wants to learn. This book can benefit anyone in the search for Linux knowledge. It is written in an easy to understand format, and will keep you interested. Rating: 5 1593273894 Count: 86

Product: RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide First: This book AND Jang’s separate Lab book were the only resources I used for preparation. I’ve read negative reviews in random places that claim various things are missing from this book….so far everything I’ve heard folks say is missing…is absolutely in this book. The Lab book doesn’t add any knowledge value but the addition of labs and exams is very helpful.

Product: 1118531744 The thing to do today with Linux+ books apparently is to develop ones that aren’t complete. Robb Tracy’s book and this book are both missing a good deal of information for the cert. Robb Tracy’s book however is missing a LOT MORE; also a good amount of information in Tracy’s book is just plain wrong (capabilities of a command, options, etc..). Since I read both of the popular cert guides, I’ll give my opinion on them both.

Product: 0071771573 LX-101: There are numerous things missing from this book for LX-101 that are explicitly stated in the LX-101 objectives as a term, command, or file you should know about. You’ll also find things on the exam that were never mentioned at all, but not many. For LX-101 you can pass with this book. Also a many of the options shown for commands are just wrong – so if you try to study/memorize the presented options instead of using the man pages or command –help, you might be SOL.

Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction The book contains sufficient material for beginning Linux users to work with command line. The coverage is wide enough to get a basic taste of what Linux commands can do. There are plenty of examples to demonstrate proper command usage. This books serves as a good basis for further Linux study. Rating: 5 1593273894 Count: 86
