Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I like the book, but I got the book that didn’t have a disc included (it DID have one, but I decided that I didn’t necessarily need it, so I got one that didn’t have it included). My mistake, I should have gotten it WITH the disc (not a necessity, but I want it now).

⭐Rambles a bit and the material is dated as well. Also it covers five or six different Linux floavors but none in depth. Would have been better if it had been more narrow with better depth.

⭐not a dummy. not enough time

⭐Linux for Dummies gives a good basic grounding in the Linux operating system. It is a straight forward book without a lot of fluff. It does not cover the latest distros but short of going on line, not many things can keep up with Linux!

⭐For any novice to Linux, this book could be a real asset. I found it to be a good refresher and reference guide.

⭐The book is in excellent shape. Book description was excellent I am totally satisfied with all aspects of the transaction.

⭐Includes a DVD with OS for Linux. Only the last few sections deal directly with Linux commands and only briefly. Most of this book deals with installation issues of different Linux OSs.

⭐This book is well written and useful as a first book on Linux or UNIX in general. Many subjects have been covered with much attention to the details and overall impression of the book is very positive.I also found it to be useful to pair this book and

⭐as they contribute very well to one another. It gives you ability to discover whole workflow as you read. Don’t be fooled by the title of the book, despite it is for “dummies” it goes throughly over many subjects.I can say it is a decent and friendly book.

⭐This book turned out to be a very elementary introduction only. I was hoping for a bit more detail.
