Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you hate the man command, this is the one to buy
Review: I've used Unix on and off for over 20 years, and I've never gotten an appreciation of the on-line documentation. So when I decided to dabble with Linux, I went searching for a command reference. This is the one! All you need to know about the command line programs as well as additional chapters on the top window managers, editors, shells, resource control, boot managers, and other topics that seem to come up frequently. O'Reilly comes through again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is just what is should be
Review: If you understand what "in a nutshell" means, then you shall be pleased with this book. It is not a tutorial, it is not a beginners' guide, it is not a theory book... it is a reference book, featuring entries that are succinct, to the point, sparse in places, but complete in breadth and indispensable for the serious Linux jockey.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: blah
Review: There is hardly anything in this book that can't be easily retrieved from the 'man' pages.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent reference book on Linux
Review: This is a book that you should keep handy while working with Linux. Every time I had a doubt in commands, this book always had an answer.

If you are looking for a tutorial on Linux, or detailed installation or other step by step tasks, this is not for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the reference you need
Review: This is a great reference book. In my opinion, THE Linux desktop reference.

It is well written, concise, clear and complete. If your budget is limited to one Linux reference, this is the one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent for command reference...
Review: This is an excellent book for you to have buy your side when you're busy working on the terminal.
