Product: Running Linux

Amazon - How can I give a book six stars? An exception should be made here.
This book is truly excellent. If you are just starting out, you’ll learn enough here to be WELL on your way to being a Linux pro. Matt Welsh et al write wonderfully. Everything is explained in the clearest manner imaginable. No, the book doesn’t cover everything, and I don’t believe that is the intention of this book. This book is a superb introduction to Linux and a wonderful reference. If you go through the entire book, you’ll easily be an advanced user of Linux. The best part is that this book explains it all so well, you’ll find nothing is very difficult at all.
I’ve owned all three editions of this book. Each edition replaces the prior on the same location on the shelf - the closest shelf to my computer.
O’Reilly is truly an amazing book publisher. It’s very uncommon to pick up one of their books and find even one error or lack of coverage. This book is NO EXCEPTION. O’Reilly makes a durable book with a clever binding called a RepKover. That’s very important, something you’ll discover after referring to O’Reilly books over & over & over again. These books are kept on the desktop or very nearby and used continuously.
This is a sure-fire winner! I doubt if Amazon ever sees one of these books show up as a return. It’s truly among the very best computer books available today.
