This book is remarkably well written. It is wonderfully clear and precise. Topics are introduced in a logical order, with great care taken to build on previous concepts. This is a book that works well for beginners as well as for more experienced users, or as a refresher. There is enough explanation so that someone can grasp a new concept, and yet the explanation is sufficiently concise so that it doesn’t slow down someone who already has some Unix/Linux skills and is simply reviewing. The book excels in every respect: chapter organization, sub-topic organization, and clear typographical conventions. But the biggest strength of the book is simply the clarity of the writing.
