How many times have you been trying to find a particular command but just can’t remember what it was called. How many times have you been typing in a command and forgot the options available?
Through this book, the author has taken many of the substaintial commands for users, admins, networking and programming and rolled them into a dictionary of sort for Linux users.
Sure, you can find out a lot about any command through the online man pages, but the author has taken the somewhat cryptic man pages and broken them down into simple, to the point, references laid out much like you would expect to find in a dictionary.
In addition, you’ll find handy reference manuals for common utilities, such as emacs, vi, CVS, sed and awk. While each of these could fill a book in themselves, the author has broken them down to the bare basics to help you get up and running and understand basic operation of each.
All in all, a wonderful reference manual that will compliment more in-depth manuals on actual use and administration of a Linux system.
