Friendly, easy to read "dummy"'s book. September 23, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is very well written and useful as a first book on Linux or UNIX in general. Many subjects have been covered with much attention to the details and overall impression of the book is very positive. It is not a book for advance UNIX user and should not be judged as a such.
I also found it to be useful to pair this book with Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008 and they contribute very well one another. It gives you ability to discover whole workflow as you read. Don't be fooled by the title of the book, despite it is for "dummies" it goes throughly over many subjects.
It is a decent and friendly book and it takes you to new many things if you have never touched Linux or UNIX before. If you like good reading, not the manual of action it is one.
Excellent for 1st time Linux users to learn with SUSE 9.3 August 19, 2005

If your new to Linux and want a nice package....
this book and Suse 9.3 would be the way to go.
Suse 9.3 is very much like Windows XP and this book will take you through it step by step. You will be up and running in a day and be very advanced after a weekend!
My father is 60 years old and barely knows computers or understands Windows XP. I gave him a copy of Suse 9.3 and this book for his birthday. Now, 2 months later, my father is actually teaching me tricks I did not know about!
This book goes over installation, navigating the environment, connecting to the internet, networking, setting up printers, applications, configuring your wireless network, and the list goes on and on.
It takes you through all the foundations of everything you need to know as a beginner. Once you get that down and if you desire to extend your knowledge and skills, you can pick up a more in-depth tome like the Linux Bible 2005 by Wiley publishing.
This book scratches the surface of all things Suse and Linux. It gives you an excellent overview and general amount of knowledge without overloading you. It is chock full of detailed screenshots, diagrams and step by step how-to sections that won't confuse you.
This book is a very pleasant surprise since most publishers are hesitant to publish a book on a specific Linux distro. They typically just go with "linux" and give general features and details but this mostly confuses the beginning Linux user and scares them off. SUSE 9.3 is popular and widespread enough to warrant it's own book.
Grab this book, buy a copy of SUSE 9.3 or just use the free version that is included with the book and try it out yourself.
Free yourself of the Microsoft shackles, enjoy free, open-source computing. Watch the speed of your old or new computers increase greatly and run more efficiently.
 This book truly is for dummies August 19, 2005

simple concepts that can easily be derived from a user's intuitiveness are broken down into "concepts" in this book. i can literally learn the first 200 pages of this book in 10 minutes by installing the SuSE Linux software myself.
A little too beginnerish IMO. if you know the slightest bit about Linux, go for more advanced material.
