Linux: Linux For Beginners Guide To Learn Linux Command Line, Linux Operating System And Linux Commands

If you are new to the raspberry PI, and especially Linux, there are four books that are a must for anyone setting up their PI and preventing a catastrophic disaster from occurring. The first book, "Raspberry PI 3 – From Noob To Master" by Steve Ora, is 72 pages of very important information on installing and setting up your PI using a pre-formatted microSD card called a NOOB (New Out Of Box). Check my review on this book. The second book I suggest that you also order is this one Linux, the subject of this review. They basically go hand-in-hand, as once you set up your raspberry PI from the NOOB, you are going to find yourself needing to do some work that can only be done in the terminal command line, such as updating the PI's catalog of programs and libraries (update) and to make sure you have all the latest copies installed, you will need to do an "upgrade." While your PI has a nice GUI like your Windows PC or Mac, you will spend a lot of your time in the PI's terminal command line. However, this is not to be feared, as this book is very comprehensive and walks you through the most commonly used commands, starting from the very basic commands and working your way up to commands that may be more destructive if not properly used. This book takes a very logical step-by-step approach to learning the Linux commands that you will need for day-to-day maintenance and operations, such as installations, setting up new partitions, changing the ownership or permissions of a device/folders/files, or environmental variables. In some cases, the only way that you can update your OS and other programs or libraries is through the terminal program and the Linux command line. The part of this book that I like is at the end of every chapter you are given a short quiz to test your knowledge. Be sure to take the test and check your results. This will show you where you need to study more for at least go back over that part of the chapter that you may have missed something. It's better to get the answer wrong on the test questions and re-review it then it is to type the command line of mmthe PI's terminal incorrectly and wind up wiping out an entire hard drive. By the end of this book you will have a good working knowledge of Linux, including how to build Scripts that automatically execute commands either when you type the script name or set it up to run automatically using cron. The last two books, which I will be writing a review soon on each of them are: "Raspberry PI3 - Enchanted Guide For Starters" by Thomas Charleston, and "Programming the Raspberry PI - Getting Started with Python" by Simon Monk.

While Josh Thompsons’ Linux For Beginners Guide, at first, looks like it may be yet another self-published Kindle book, it’s actually pretty good quality once you get into it. The book is not very long, and can probably be finished in an hour or two. The material covered is on the easier side, good for a beginner’s book, and the explanations are adequate. I believe some of the coding tutorials were sources from other places online, but the author does give credit and provides links to the original website. So what is in the book? From the 8 chapters we have: installing a virtual machine, the Linux directory structure, the shell, basic commands, fish, permissions, text editors, and environmental variables. There are some interesting tidbits here I haven’t encountered before, like the CTRL+L shortcut to clear a terminal window, but most of topics are basic stuff you would see after spending a week or two with Linux. There was only one (pretty big) mistake I noticed. In the steps to install a Linux virtual machine, it looks like the author got confused, or combined two tutorials or something, because, midway through, the steps turn to show how to actually install Linux on your hard drive as the primary OS. While I did not see any other obvious errors like this, this could be pretty bad if a beginner wipes their hard drive by following the bunk instructions. Aside from that error, the rest of the book was readable, even if I only learned a few things here and there. If you are just starting out, or want to try Linux, I think The Linux Command Line by William Shotts is a better place to start. However, if you are looking for a quick and cheap read, Linux For Beginners Guide is not so bad.

If you want to master the Linux operating system, then this book is for you. This book contains proven steps and strategies on learning hat Linux is and how to use it. At the end of each of the chapters the author has included a quick quiz- you will find the answers at the end of the book. It is very pleasant book to read and it is a perfect introduction to any beginner Linux user. A lot of important information about Linux gathered in this book. The author gives us the information about installing virtual machines, the Linux Directory Structure, basic Linux commands and much more interesting and useful information. The author described every single thing very clearly with some proper explanations. All information is laid out in logically and easy to understand. I liked this book very much and really got much helpful information for myself. I highly recommend this book for those who are really interested in learning about this great platform. It is worth reading.

This is not a bad introduction to Linux. There are a few typos pointing out the lack editorial pass. However, the content I thought was pretty good. The book starts with installing a virtual machine on Windows or Mac, so people without Linux machines can experiment with Linux in their existing environment. It goes through a good number of examples of basic commands and I thought at the end of the book it leaves the reader with enough basic knowledge to be able to do something productive.

Good book

This book is a beginner’s guide for quick learning Linux commands which are as often as possible utilized by Linux executives or apprentices. I have discovered all fundamental Linux commands and in addition their operations, illustrations, and clarifications. This book likewise incorporates Linux Helping orders, images, alternate way keys, run levels and Vi summons. There is a long chart in this book containing all common Linux commands which can give anyone a great help in job or study. Very much appreciated.

The book just gives you a summary but does not give good examples I am a novice to Linux using Mint at present wanted to learn terminal commands, but still struggling.

per i neofiti: parte bene e poi accelera saltando cose che magari sarebbero state più' utili. d'altronde in poco spazio non si può' scrivere tutto. da affiancare ad altre letture
