This book covers the administration of, usage of, and shell programming on Linux systems. The book is an overview of Linux and serves as an excellent reference, but doesn’t come close to a tutorial. This 6th edition continues to be a good extended man page for the operating system’s many commands, features, and utilities. Linux has recently been extended, and most of those extensions appear to be covered in this book. You should already have a basic knowledge of Unix/Linux and just need a quick reference for when you forget something. For example, you are not going to learn how to program using gawk with the chapter included in this book. Neither will you figure out the intracies of version control and Git. The preface states that this new sixth edition has been examined and checked against the most common Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE) so that it reflects the most useful and popular commands.
