Product: 1453689923 Their are better books, and their are certainly many worse books that this for Linux administration. Worth it if you are new to the OS, but not so much if you have used Linux before or admin *nix. Rating: 3 1453689923 Count: 6

Product: LINUX: Easy Linux For Beginners, Your Step-By-Step Guide To Learning The Linux Operating System And Command Line The book mainly focuses on the basics of Linux and the beginners who are just starting to set their foot in the Linux atmosphere. The book has some very great examples to help you understand and it is very precise about the different Linux objects. The book is a very good starting point for those who need to learn Linux from scratch and want to make their way to the top.

Product: 0470467010 I read this book cover to cover hoping to learn a bit more about Linux than I’ve learned from just poking around on my own. In all honestly, I didn’t learn a ton from this book that I didn’t already know. I can’t, however, blame the book for that. It is directed at people who are new to Linux. If you aren’t incredibly tech savvy and want to jump into Linux (this is probably a minority demographic) then this is the book for you.

Product: RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide This is the sixth edition of Jang’s Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide, though it has in previous editions been known under slightly different titles due to the change in Red Hat’s test titles. With the transition to Red Hat Enterprise 6 and the introduction of Red Hat’s RHCSA (Certified System Administrator) test, this book has undergone a significant revision cycle. First things first - the book comes with a CD that contains a total of four practice exams, two for the RHCSA exam and two for the RHCE exam.

Product: 0596001088 Linux arose in such as way as to blast the conventional model of software development out of the water, so to speak. Here, Eric examines the ‘how’ and ‘why’ a bazaar model works so well, and its as defining a work as I have seen to date. Highly recommended. Rating: 5 0596001088 Count: 15

Product: 0738203335 Linux is awesome not only because its model, Unix, is so pervasive in our world, but also for the way in which Linux arose. Owning this book will help one to get a grip on just what a revolution Linux is. I am convinced that the world at large does not grasp the significance of Linux, and how collaboration on a global scale can be used not only for the development of software, but anything else that it is applied to.

Product: How Linux Works In How Linux Works, Brian Ward gives a clear and understandable explanation of what happens under the hood of your Linux machine. He outlines all the major parts from how Linux boots to how disks and hardware is presented to the user. Ward’s explanation of the workings of Linux is clear and remains free of needing to understand any actual programming to follow (although some familiarity may be helpful in the chapters on compiling source code or using development tools).

Product: 0072127481 Hacking exposed has a rather deceitful title however, is very honest if you read the cover. It has detail instruction and explaination for many security features and flaws in Unix, Linux, Windows NT, Windows 95⁄98, Windows 2000, Routers, and even individual freeware and commercial software releases. This is a great book to get your foot in the door on your basic network security. There is too much information on security available to print it all in one book, and the authors realize this and do not deny it.
