When you are on the way of learning about operating systems yourself, the first and the most difficult task is to choose an appropriate manual. There are plenty online, but what you need, is something that is written in a simple, comprehensive way for better understanding, with lots of examples to try and practice your knowledge right away. So, I am in a great luck to find Linux Command Line by Ray Yao.
First of all, I really appreciated the Introduction, which has numerous interesting things concerning Linux and its appearance in our lives, like the flashback to 1984 with information about the powerful operating system Unix, less known to the public.
The author has done an outstanding job organizing material. The learning material is very easy to perceive with numerous examples, which eases the usage of gained knowledge in practice enormously. The structure of the book is really profound and sequential, with summaries at the end of each chapter.
It is definitely useful for beginners like me since it gives all the essential knowledge on how to deal with files and directories, manage users and groups, send network messages and a lot more. There are also very important tables for everything you will need, while mastering the Linux essentials: shortcut keys, run levels tables, the Vi editor commands, etc.
I highly recommend this manual to everybody who wants to learn the Linux basics quickly and efficiently.
