Summary: FourAndAHalf
Review: I now own somewhere around 20 books about linux or associated apps. I am willing to lend several of these to my close family or dear friends but only one that will have to be pried from my cold dead fingers. If there is one essential book for linux users, Linux Administration:ABG is it. It is not only informative but a delightful read. My strongest recommendation.

Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: I picked this book up a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to put it down. I particularly like the projects in each chapter, they helped a lot in understanding the material.The book covers just about everything you need to get started with Linux. The software installation chapter was helpfull with learning how to compile and install GNU software from source, something I've never done as a Windows admin. Overall a great book!

Summary: Linux administration made EASY
Review: Steve did a wonderful job with this book. He answers nearly all the important questions you have before finishing the book. It has a really good section on firewalls in Linux as well as compiling your own kernel. The section on DNS was really quite nice. I always had a difficult time understanding DNS in Linux until reading this book and have successfully set up DNS on a Linux Server. The CD in the book didn't work, but that's OK...Linux can be downloaded for free... If you've been afraid to really get your hands dirty setting up a Linux server, you've run out of excuses. Steve Shah's book will get you through it.

Summary: Authors make learning Linux unintimidating
Review: The authors did a good job of introducing newbies to Linux. I found it very easy to follow. The book makes Linux easy to understand. Granted there is a lot more to learn, but that is not the scope of the book.

Summary: Fantastic first Linux book
Review: This book is what it says it is. A great Introduction to Linux. The book does a great job at showing how features in Linux relate to features in Windows. So if you are used to the Windows way of doing things, this book will make learning Linux very easy. I espcially like the information on compiling the kernel. This book really took away many miscomceptions that I had about Linux.

Summary: Best newbie books I've found
Review: This is the book I've been looking for. It has most of the "need to know" stuff from the man pages along with easy to understand explanations. I'm working my way through it but it makes a great reference too. I've seen too many books that spend way too much time on installation and not enough on operation. This one gets right to the CLI from adding users to setting up dns and fetchmail. If you're looking for a book on xwindows, this ain't it. If you're a newbie looking to learn the command line...get this book.
