This product arrived three weeks BEFORE I thought it would.
It covers several Linux Kernals as well as good information on FreeBSD.
A MUST for everyone – even a newbie like me!!!

This book is great. I found it at Barnes and Noble and read through it. It looked perfect so I bought it off of Amazon. This book includes everything you need to get started with Linux. The Distros, and of course the book. The only problem I have is it is not really a read from beginning to end book. Chapter 2 begins the Shell prompt whereas Part 3 actually contains the chapters of how to install, etc.

With all respect due to the author, I think this book shows no effort to make you interested in reading it. You try to force yourself to read but its so dead boring approach that you put down, you try again and you fail again, till you rip the book to peaces and throw it in the trash (like I did).
This book tries to answer all the questions but fails to organize the material in a form that keeps the reader interested. It made me almost give up on learning Linux until I found William Von “Ubuntu Linux Bible” which made all the difference. I recommend that one instead and recommend it very strongly.
