  • A fair book; not great, not bad.
  • I purchased this book thinking it would help me learn Linux Shell Programming. It did not. First, the material is too high level. Second, some of us are still constrained to the original Bourne...

  Linux Pocket Guide

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Jun-29-2009

  • Good for What It is
  • This book lists commands and what they do. It does not explain Linux, or how to do things, just what various commands are. It's not a bad reference, although you can get more from Linux man.
