Linux for Dummies Quick Reference

by Phil Hughes

LINUX is a powerful (and free!) operating system that's evolved over the years into possibly the most capable and reliable OS around. Although LINUX is easier to use than UNIX, you still may have a few questions you want answered in plain English. Whether you're just getting your feet wet or you're a seasoned UNIX user who's getting comfortable with LINUX, LINUX For Dummies Quick Reference should come in handy. In this handy guide, you find plenty of example code, step-by-step lists, and pointers to online references. This handy desktop reference is easy to flip through -- and the chapters on common shell commands and using regular expressions are better than writing a bunch of code on the back of your hand.

Great book, easy to find stuff and to understand. I haven't ran trough a question, yet, that I wasn't able to find the answer for it in this book. The format I have is a pain some times, just because I can't maneuver the book a lot and it could have a example for each command, and for each variation of the command, but I realize that the book would be to big to carry around and probably a lot more expensive.

Basic overview of Linux commands. Some topics were too shallow and some already with old info. But otherwise it was still helpful.
