This book is terrible and makes no sense. Yes it is written in plain english and is easy to understand, but it tells you very little actually about linux. It spends time evangelizing about open systems, it spends time telling you about how to install linux from 7 different distributions. Ok the discussions of the 7 distributions were valuable for 1 chapter, maybe 2, but that was enough. It doesn’t help you learn linux to have the instructions with 7 different nuances. Just say that there are these different distributions and why, then just work with the commonalities of Linux. Of the 400 pages of this book, maybe 100 were valuable.
