Product: How Linux Works

I suspect I may be the exact target audience for this book. I’ve been using Linux Mint in a dual boot configuration with Windows 8.1 for about a year now. I like the fact that I have the ability to dig around this OS and I’ve been doing that in an aimless sort of way for a while now. This book has given direction to that aimlessness and it’s helped me to enjoy Linux even more.

Since this is my first serious exploration of this topic I’ve just read through the book with my terminal open, entering the example commands when appropriate and discovering what they do. I will admit that some of this stuff goes over my head but I’m okay with that because the stretch means I’m learning something. I’m finding that by going with the plow-ahead method that something that doesn’t seem to make sense at first falls into place later on.

This book has opened my Linux experience in such a way that I spend more and more time in Linux and have even made a list of more books to get based on some of the recommendations that are made along the way in this one. Any book that causes you to want to keep going when you get to the end of it is the best kind of book there is.
