SynopsisFor novices who want to get up to speed quickly on day-to- day Linux use, as well as for more advanced readers who want a concise, functional reference - the Linux Pocket Reference fits the bill. It focuses on Linux use, as opposed to Linux programming and system administration. It is a useful reference, and doesn't try to cover every single option of every single command, but covers useful options of many useful commands. This book is grouped by functionality, rather than by the alphabet, and quickly covers a large set of useful information. And unlike man pages, it provides an organized learning path., 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., O'Reilly's Pocket Guides have earned a reputation as inexpensive, comprehensive, and compact guides that have the stuff but not the fluff.

Only for Fedora
Too many distributions to rely on a book specific for Fedora which is not exactly the first choice of most Linux users. Did not know of this specificity until I rec'd the book and would have cost more than it is worth to become involved in the return process.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
