Easy Linux Commands – Another Review on Amazon

My book Easy Linux Commands: Working Examples of Linux Command Syntax has received another 5-star review on Amazon. Here’s what reviewer Ben Prusinski has to say:

After wading through a maze of complex Linux tomes that are geared toward experienced Unix administrators, I finally found an excellent tips and tricks guide that can walk a novice through the maze of Unix commands. This book is easy to follow and makes using Linux operating system a breeze rather than a painful austerity. Highly recommended!

I’m glad people are finding the book useful! Thanks for the feedback Ben.

Written by me and Terry Clark this book is part reference and part tutorial encompasing everything from basic file manipulation to administrative commands.

From an Amazon review by Kurt:

New users to Linux and old-school Unix engineers alike will find value in this book. The author did a tremendous service representing this rapidly growing technology in an easy to read, easy to follow humorous format. Page to page there are examples of basic Unix commands and obscure Linux features available to most builds. Having built my career in deploying “Enterprise Class” Unix based solutions for today’s high availability needs, it is refreshing to learn some new tricks and be reacquainted with old tools built discussed in this book. I recommend it to entry level and veterans alike.

The book is available in major bookstores (although any bookstore should be able to order it for you) and can also be ordered from the publisher for just $19.95. That’s 30% off the cover price!

Thanks to Zach for snapping the pic and sending it on to me.

Easy Linux Commands – Working Examples of Linux Command Syntax

Easy Linux Commands: Working Examples of Linux Command SyntaxI’m happy to announce that my book Easy Linux Commands: Working Examples of Linux Command Syntax can now be preordered from Rampant TechPress!

This book by Terry Clark and I is designed to serve as both a progressive how-to for getting comfortable with the Linux environment and as a reference for the most commonly used Linux commands and options. After presenting a little background information the books jumps right in to how to navigate the Linux file structure, manipulate files and directories, search for specific objects and get around in the vi text editor.

More advanced topics like shell scripting, using cron to schedule tasks and monitoring and administration tasks are also covered all with the focus on giving working examples of the Linux commands you will find useful. The command examples in this book can often be used with little or no modification saving considerable time and experimentation.

This book organized into logical task-based chapters making it easy to find the commands you need when you need them.

For a full table of contents and index check out the book’s page on Rampant TechPress. It’s available for preorder through Rampant and should be in book stores in just a couple months!
