Not a complete Linux reference May 6, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book so that I could understand general Linux commands and structuring, and it has shown me a good and useful range. But as I say this book can't be used as a Linux reference or admin book, as I believe it is missing certain sections that would be rather useful.
The first problem that arises is how to add a new user on a Linux machine. Well this book tells you nothing on it and just leaves you wondering. I was also interested in the ssl connection configuration specifics so that we use secure connections when talking to remote Linux machine. This too was mentioned, but nothing more.
Luckily I also bought the Osborne Linux Complete Reference 6th Edition, which told me how to do the above commands.
So yes it would seem to be an OK book but think you might need a book like the Osborne one to accompany it, for more of a technical view.
