My current PC is a great machine, built it myself four years ago and it is still going strong. However, it runs XP windows which is now beginning to create all kinds of problems. For example, can’t upgrade to the latest Explorer, and so I have been using Mozilla and Chrome more often, which is not a bad thing. Recently ordered Ubuntu 14 and have played with it a bit. This book is more geared to the ‘Command Line’, but I am interested in exploring that. I feel that in the future I will likely have a computer with Linux as the main operating system, and so this book looks like a good introduction to those who want to know Unix/Linux better. A so much better OS than Windows, and it gives us more freedom. For example, with Linux you will likely not need any anti virus software. I have several other Visual Quickstart books, and they are always well written and a wonderful resource. My other heavily used Quickstart guides are Castro’s HTML,XHTML & CSS and Larry Ulmans PHP. Also have Negrino Javascript and all these manuals are excellent for learning and for later reference.
