Product: Running Linux I first r3ead this book in it’s second edition. I then received one of these books (3rd edition) with every VA Linux box we ordered, so I shouldn’t complain since it was free, BUUUUT… It seems that some of the material is out of date. There are some new chapters, but a new edition needs updating in every chapter for the book to remain relevant. That said however, I find my self referencing this book occasionally.

Product: 0130084662 I picked up this book because I have used the 2nd and 3rd editions of UNIX Administration Handbook for years. This book is easy to read and provides some entertainment with the authors’ insight into Linux administration. As with it’s brother the UAH, this book follows the same format but IS updated to reflect the Linux specifics. I picked it up also because it covers RH 7.2 and the UAH only covered 6.

Product: 0130281875 This book is a must have for anyone using or responsible for Linux boxes connected to the Internet. This book is a great book on Host security. very detailed and step by step. Mr Toxen was not afraid to go into detail. He explained quick fixes to rapidly secure your machine, as well as more detailed examples. I loved this book and even used the ideas to harden my Solaris servers at work.

Product: 151182607X Great little guide. Perfect for the beginner user of Linux. I’ve read Ray Yao’s other guides and he nails it every time. Highly recommended for the lay person. Rating: 5 151182607X Count: 33

Product: Linux (Hacking Exposed) Any of the books in the Hacking Exposed Series are worth buying, and this book is no exception. I am a newbie who is just curious about hacking and computing in general. I am halfway finished with this book and I am already planning on reading this book again. Once just to get an idea of what is going on, and the second time more of as a reference.

Product: 1430218894 A nice intro to the command line. Nothing special about it. You can pass a few exams if you couple this book with the Pro Linux System Administration book. That’s outstanding! Rating: 3 1430218894 Count: 7

Product: 1449316697 I enjoy the writing style of this author. It’s easy to read, and easy to understand. As he states, the book is written in a way that is suitable for noobs, using the vernacular. If you are a seasoned Linux user, this book will probably provide some good reference material. One thing I wish the author hadn’t done, and for which I give 1 fewer stars than the maximum is because he states that the reader can skip the beginning, but doesn’t actually say what that delimiter is.

Product: 1532811292 I got this book out of sheer curiosity. I use and own a Mac, and honestly I view the Linux OS as somewhat ancient. I didn’t expect it to be as modern and as technologically competitive as Windows or my OS X and reading this guide was an educational experience for me. Its way different from what I am used to but interesting. Author compiled some well-researched information, and overall Id say this was a decent guide for this Linux rookie.

Product: Linux for Beginner’s: Complete Guide for Linux Operating System and Command Line Im taking a computer class right now and I HATE IT! Anyways, my class talked about Linux quite a bit, and I know a lot of people (especially games) use Linux. Im using Safari, but I wanted to trty Linux and see what it was about .This book tells you things from What is Linux all the way to how to use an instant messanger through Linux.
