Product: 0470497025 A good introduction to Linux Assembly Language using NASM. Also discusses GAS, Gnu Assembler, and generation of assembler from C using GCC. Has a good discussion of assembly debugging. The discussion of number systems and Intel Architecture is clear and valuable. I found programming and hardware concepts clearly illustrated and explained. Rating: 4 0470497025 Count: 13

Product: 159327257X Ubuntu is a well-regarded distribution of Linux, which has the latest enhancements to the Linux operating system. The book was written for those familiar with computers, and somewhat familiar with Linux, but not with the Ubuntu distribution. The book comes with Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop on CD-ROM–it can be run from the CD or installed on your hard disk. The author has done an excellent job getting the reader started.

Product: LINUX: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide! Thanks for explaining Linux to me. I wanted to switch for some time now, because of its top notch security. And I also like the idea of open source a lot. Didn’t know many things pointed out in this book. Rating: 5 1519453477 Count: 34

Product: How Linux Works I didn’t know about this book until it showed up on my doorstep courtesy of the great folks at the O’Reilly LUG program. But I was interested in it from the moment I opened the box. It’s a basic guide to general Linux. It’s new, fun and the author does a nice job of covering the basics. He doesn’t dwell on any one distro, but covers all sorts of commands, issues, and questions that a lot of people who are switching to linux might have.

Product: 013143697X The book seems to assume you don’t know linux that well. I would prefer it assumed you did. For people who don’t know Linux why start with a book about Java in the Linux environment? Why not just learn about using java in Mac OS or Windoze? There is much of java that is not covered, instead you are referred to a more thourough book on java. I didn’t want a chapter on how to use vi.

Product: 1517392772 My Linux education is not that good, I’ve been reading a lot of books lately about it, so far this book enhances my knowledge in the terms on how they explain the details that I need to know about Linux. The author did a good work and she wrote a book in detail in easy language so everyone can understand. This is an excellent guide and helper for those familiar with the Linux for the first time: the author has collected key information and presented it very accessible.

Product: 0321636783 A good survey of Linux/Unix command line use. Excellent place to start if you want to grasp what those terminal functions (yes, on Mac OSX and also of course on Linux/Ubuntu/Mint) are all about. I’ve gotten a lot out of it - with just a final chapter or two to go. Rating: 4 0321636783 Count: 6

Product: LINUX Beginner’s Crash Cours Linux gained popularity among software developers as it is free of charge and runs on different platforms. The LINUX operating system is pretty straightforward and it is not complex like other operating systems. LINUX is available free of charge in the market which makes it available for everyone who wishes to learn it. A number of topics have been covered like the Linux kernel and shell scripting along with topics like Inter-process Communication and a lot of commands with which you can easily perform most of the simple tasks in Linux.
