Excellent tutorial and study guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
If you're interested in getting Linux certification or just want to learn more about your Linux system, this book was written with you in mind.It assumes nothing and takes the reader through an introduction to Linux and then methodically works from installation to command line usage to enabling servers.The material is written in an easy-to-read style and the author writes in a way so that you get a decent grasp of the material presented.In fact, if I had to recommend the one book for a Linux newbie that is meaty yet easy to digest, it would be this tome.Highly recommended!
Excellent for the beginner

When I decided that I wanted to learn about Linux I started out by buying one of the "Linux for Dummies" books. The only problem was that it did not cover all the topics and what it did cover seemed more like a light overview. So I ended up signing up for a Unix (Linux) class at a local college and Wells' book was the textbook. It's an excellent book for beginners. It assumes no prior knowledge of Linux/Unix and explains everything you need to know. All topics are covered thoroughly. If you are not lucky enough to have access to a Linux class that you can take at your local college, you could probably just read this book and learn a great deal by self-study. By the way, we used this book to learn the general concepts, but also used "Linux In A Nutshell" by Ellen Sievers as our reference for all of the commands. Both books together will definitely cover most everything you need to know in order to become Linux-literate.
BEST Book for Trainees

i've just finished reading this book and i consider it as an A book for poeple trying to get the LPI level 1 and the 2 examens of the GNU & Sair linux crtification, and in fact i've just start teaching this book for the 2 certifications mentioned above. it's a good book and it takes you step by step for the certification. But as NET ADMIN you can use it as a reference in you library.

This book by wells takes you step by step through the installation procedure and covers basically from history of Linux to maintaining it. But because this book is only about 700 pages, its only covers the most basic. As computer person you are, you know Linux is far more complicated yet powerful for users and require a much deeper explaination and usage on the OS. For beginners, this book is for you. This book is probably good for a textbook in college for introductions and maybe just a simple guide to yourself. For administrators, you may want this to compliment your vast library of Linux books.
