Book Reviews of Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Ubuntu and Debian Power Users
Book Review: i think this is one step above the dummies series
Summary: 5 Stars
The book technically refers to Ubuntu version 7.04 so it is a little out of date with the current release Ubuntu version 9.10. I have been using linux for 2 months, and purchased this book about a month ago, January 3,2010. I got 10 times more understanding out of this $20 book than a unix class I took in college. I wished I had this book in college. It does require a little thinking and study time for me to understand the information in this book. The step by step usage of commands provide insight to how to use commands orderly. The author occasionally points out differences between Ubuntu and other versions of linux in hopes to simplify linux in general. The book is way more friendlier and understandable then the man pages for a beginner. When I started, I only knew how to type commands like ls, pwd, whoami, and ps, but i didn't know how to interpret the information the command yield and what to do with them. After reading the book, my commands include, swapon, chattr, fc, lzop, dd, alias, and a few others, and i kind of understand what I am doing. In conclusion, even though this book is technically out of date, and the location of some files have changed from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 9.10, I find that this book has provided me a starting point in understanding linux, and will help me chose my next book with an understanding of what i will be getting into.
