O'Reilly's Pocket Guides have earned a reputation as inexpensive, comprehensive,
and compact guides that have the stuff but not the fluff. Every page of Linux
Pocket Guide lives up to this billing. It clearly explains how to get up
to speed quickly on day-to-day Linux use. Once you're up and running, Linux
Pocket Guide provides an easy-to-use reference that you can keep by your
keyboard for those times when you want a fast, useful answer, not hours in the
man pages.
Linux Pocket Guide is organized the way you use Linux: by function, not
just alphabetically. It's not the 'bible of Linux; it's a practical and concise
guide to the options and commands you need most. It starts with general concepts
like files and directories, the shell, and X windows, and then presents detailed
overviews of the most essential commands, with clear examples. You'll learn
each command's purpose, usage, options, location on disk, and even the RPM package
that installed it.
The Linux Pocket Guide is tailored to Fedora Linux--the latest spin-off
of Red Hat Linux--but most of the information applies to any Linux system.
Throw in a host of valuable power user tips and a friendly and accessible style,
and you'll quickly find this practical, to-the-point book a small but mighty
resource for Linux users.
