Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 16 reviews. Bad experience, 2009-02-01 Reviewer rating: This seller really disappointed me. I ordered a book from this seller on the 1st of January and have not received the book yet! I have written e-mails to the seller and I have not heard anything from the seller yet! This is a totally bad experience! | Chose it for my class, 2008-07-21 Reviewer rating: I teach a class on Linux and chose this book for several reasons
1. price - Linux 'textbooks' run around $150
2. more than enough good material to fill a semester
3. Sobell's books are consistently the most readable I have seen - topics are explained well in a style that is interesting - a rarity in tech books | Too Much Entry Level Information, 2008-01-24 Reviewer rating: This book is not for would be admins. The writer wasted a lot of time in explaining mundane stuff. I don't understand why all those reviewers gave so much praise for this merely entry level book. | Must Have This Book!, 2007-10-29 Reviewer rating: To keep it simple...THIS IS THE BOOK!!!
You'll only need one. Learn everything in this book!
Easy to read and lots of examples.
You won't be disappointed! | Excellent resource for beginning and intermediate Linux users, 2006-11-10 Reviewer rating: I purchased this book to keep as a reference for my Linux users. I have found that is easy to use with a plethora of good practical information. It is well written and fairly comprehensive. It takes the mystery out of a lot of the more intricate Linux tasks. It explains things very well and the "How To"s are easy to follow. This is a great book for beginning to intermediate Linux users and a great reference for those that are more experienced. |
