Product: 0596527209 I found this book a very useful howto to get up to speed in using Ubuntu and Linux in general. I loved the section on installing ATI and Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu as well as some of the multi-media hacks which has only helped to get more out of this os. As Ubuntu is storming the linux world as the most popular distro (see distrowatch) this book offers a broad reference for someone wanted to get more depth from the OS.

Product: 1491939982 Having a general Unix/Linux background, this book did not contain much that I did not know already. Yet I recommend it because not everything that worked from my Solaris and Red Hat background, translated directly to OS X. Pretty close, but not exactly. The same can be said of Solaris and Red Hat. Some things in Solaris don’t work or exist in Red Hat, and vice versa. Going through this book, I know what things will work in OS X, and where to look for more information, as this book is not exhaustive, but an introduction.

Product: 0131367366 A bit dated, but still a very important guide by the #1 recognized Linux guru, Mark Sobell. I believe there is a newer edition out now (May 2016). Rating: 4 0131367366 Count: 11

Product: 1118554213 If you are like me and know nothing about a Raspberry Pi, this book is for you. It takes you from a basic introduction of the hardware and Raspian (Linux) operating system and moves on to setting it up and programming it using Python. While this book won’t be your only guide to using the RPi, it’s certainly a good place to start. Sean McManus does of a great job of explaining it all in terms we can all understand.

Product: 0132354136 I have read The Official Ubuntu Book from beginning to end and found it to be more of a reference book. If I had not read Ubuntu Linux for Non-Geeks first I would have been lost. The book is a good read but it’s not for the newbie, its more for someone that already has ubuntu experience and is looking for a little guide. The book is written as if it assumes you already have some knowledge of Ubuntu, which I luckily did after reading the first book.

Product: 159327257X I am very new to Ubuntu Linux and found this book to be a great help. The beginning chapters will get you up and running with little or no pain. Once you get up and running the later chapters get into using the OS and working with programs that are included. A Very straight forward read and can be used for later reference. A must have for your Ubuntu library.

Product: Embedded Linux Primer This book does not lie when it says primer. It get’s 5 stars in its ability to barely skim all the major aspects of embedded linux. The only people who could possibly get any use out of this would be the project manager who needs to briefly get the 5000 foot view of an embedded linux system. Even then, the incomplete code examples only serve as frustration, and the generalizations take too much liberty.

Product: How Linux Works If you are interested in learning about Linux, and even the basics of Operating Systems but can’t quite yet jump into books dealing with operating systems in the abstract, there is no better book. I have scoured the internet for every beginner’s resource on linux, shell scripting and operating system theory. In my opinion, nothing has been better than this book as an introduction to a wide array of tasks you’ll need to be able to perform on a linux machine, as well as an introduction to various theoretical concepts like kernel space, user space, how processes work, system calls, drivers etc.
