GNU/Linux (or “Linux”, if you want to be brief and get Mr. Stallman angry) is probably the most talked about operating system in the world left now. Even though GNU/Linux can be used without ever touching the infamous command line (thanks to distributions like Ubuntu or Suse), quite a few users out there are keen to learn how to get the most out of the Unix commands available.

Thanks to this book, those users will find themselves left home.

Mark Sobell, a best-selling UNIX author, has done it again: he has delivered yet another fantastic book which makes GNU/Linux easier to approach

Content

The book is 583 pages, plus 387 pages at the end-the “Command reference”, which could (and probably should) have been avoided (see the “cons” section of this review). The book is divided into five main parts. In the first part, the book welcomes less experienced users and gets them sitting comfortably in front of a shell. The second part is dedicated to text editors (Vi and Emacs). This part is the foundation for the next one (part three), which explains the basics of Bash and TC shell. The fourth part is the fun one: after spending time writing uncomplicated scripts, the reader can discover how to program the Bash and how to use tools like AWK and SED. Each section can be read on its own; however, the book is a great step-by-step guide, where every chapter builds up on the previously acquired knowledge.
