Inside Linux Review by anonymous
Easy, fun read with lots of info ...
I have a few books on Linux and have finally found one that is refreshing! Rather than a book that rehashes the public domain documentation, I find this book to provide an "I'm with you" perspective - it speaks to you as if the author is sitting there right next to you, explaining in a "been there, done that" attitude.
The format appears to be a "how-to" and pseudo-reference and does both very well. Although Tobler seems to be slightly Win-phobic (which I guess you should be for Linux), the information provided is complete and accurate. And even though the distros discussed are a version behind, no one should have a problem applying the information to current versions of Linux distros. I would have liked to have seen a CD-ROM included. Otherwise, you get a well-rounded opportunity to explore the many pieces of the Linux puzzle.
My tag line? ... all you need is Inside Linux (and "Linux in a Nutshell" for a true reference) and you're ready to go!
