Outstanding Linux book!
* * * * *This book may have had Debian as its base, but, this book can easily be used with any distribution. I have been using Linux for six years now, and I was able to learn commands that I didn't know even existed. Don't pay any attention to those who will give this book only three stars simply because they didn't read the books discription and bought the wrong book. This one is a real winner. I antipipate that this book will be in my library for some time to come because most of the books contents go over stuff that will most likely not change very much over time. * * * * *

Sorry I bought it
The books is full of information, but it seems that the author forgot (or ignores the fact) that all current Linux distributions have a graphical interface. The recipies describe how to use cumbersome command line tools, although graphical tools are available. I also felt that there were often things that were missing or really did not belong under the heading of "everyday use".

Just the ingredents this Linux chef needed.
Even though this book is written over the keyboard of a Debian system. There is a lot of good usable command line utilities and programs that would be usefull on, I can only imagine, any distribution. This book has, so far, been actually fun book to go through, and I have learned a lot of commands and other things that I didn't know existed before. This is really a great book for the linux user who is ready to make the step from the "newby" stage to the intermediate stage, and beyond.I am glad I got bought this book.!!!!!!!! .
