Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours Google Search |
User review Very dated and thus left behind I found this book in a cube cleanup and decided to give it a skim. It is very dated now and I see why the person abandoned it. To give you an idea as to the age of the information; the cd is Redhat 5, the book talks about X11 window manager, using mosaic and linx, the 9600. Overall it's ok for beginning basic commands, etc. However, you can find this information online or in newer books. User review You could learn more on your own I wasn't happy with this book. I read it a while ago and you'd be better off spending the time just playing with linux instead of reading this dated book. :/ User review Good if your installation doesn't run into problems I used the cd to install Red Hat 5.0 and followed the step by step instructions in the book. I now have Linux up and running on a dual boot machine with no problems. The installation was straight forward, but I feel that had problems occured the book wouldn't have had enough detail to help me overcome them. An easy to read book that doesn't go into any real depth, but can get a new user up and running relatively quickly. User review good i want a such book as this one that can help me to learn linux quickly User review A BAD BOOK. VAGUE. INCONSISTANT. WORTHLESS. This book is a vague look at Linux that answers almost no questions and is practically useless in its mission, which is to teach newbies Linux. The auther was in a hurry to publish it and as a result is vague and misleading, skims over important issues, and fluffs off everything else. Other books on Linux |
