Linux Pocket Guide (Paperback)
Review
“Whilst there does seem to be a trend amongst many publishers to deliver ever more comprehensive titles, cramming details of almost every command-line switch and GUI option across a huge range of tools and packages, O’Reilly can always be relied upon to publish works that deal concisely with one aspecty of GNU/Linux or excel in offering a psecific functionality.

And though Fedora specifics such as desktop and package managerment are covered in some detail, nearly all of the material here could well be applied to almost any distro.” Martin Howse, Linux User and Developer, Issue 40 “Can’t memorise man pages?

Wow, if you don’t know this already…
I have tried Linux off and on for just barely 10 years now. What I mean by off and on is that, I used it for like 2 months, then went back to win32 for the other 10.

Very good!
It’s the best entry point to learn how to fight with your linux and shell. With the new Fedora 10, why don’t think in a 2nd edition?

best little pocket guide thing I’ve ever seen
Might be confusing for some who don’t realize that various flavours of UNINX and Linux abound but so what! This book is not supposed to teach that kind of thing anyway.

Not for beginners
While this may be an excellent reference for experienced Linux users, it will be of very limited use for beginners or those who use Linux through a graphical interface.

Great reference book, especially for linux nubes
I’m relatively new to linux and this is a great book to have handy. Very small and tightly packed with easy to find commands and examples. Great tool and good price.

A handy, useful reference for the Linux user
A pocket sized guide to the essential commands of Linux. While specific to an older version of Fedora, this is still a very handy reference.
