This product arrived three weeks BEFORE I thought it would.
It covers several Linux Kernals as well as good information on FreeBSD.
A MUST for everyone – even a newbie like me!!!

This book is great. I found it at Barnes and Noble and read through it. It looked perfect so I bought it off of Amazon. This book includes everything you need to get started with Linux. The Distros, and of course the book. The only problem I have is it is not really a read from beginning to end book. Chapter 2 begins the Shell prompt whereas Part 3 actually contains the chapters of how to install, etc.

Colegas,
Nací a la programación con UNIX pero soy un Microsoft Solutions Provider. Al ver este libro decidí ver que novedades traía la nueva versión ya que ya tenía la versión 4 de 1995 en mis manos.
Esta versión contiene muy buena información, sobre todo el DVD y CDROM que incluye con las 18 versiones de LINUX para provar antes de instalar me parece una muy buena idea, sobre todo para los usuarios que no tienen equipos fijos y asiduos al clud computing.
Las partes que tiene muestran un enfoque estructurado desde la selección de la versión, hasta la programación fundamental dentro de LINUX. Comparando con la antigua versión que tengo (4ta) que era un compendio de HOWTO este libro vendría a ser la versión para conocer los nuevos sistemas de LINUX disponibles
En resumen, esta fue una buena compra que no me arrepiento de haberla hecho. Si tienen la oportunidad adquieran el libro.

Colleagues,
I was born to the programming with UNIX but I am a Microsoft Solutions Provider.
When seeing this book I decided to see that new features brought the new version since it already had version 4 of 1995 in my hands.
This version contains very good information, mainly the DVD and CDROM that it includes with the 18 versions of LINUX to try before installing seems to me a very good idea, mainly for the users who do not have stationary equipment and assiduous to clud computing.
The parts that it has show an approach structured from the selection of the version, to the fundamental programming within LINUX. Comparing with the old version that I have (4ta) that was a HOWTO compendium this book would come to be the version to know the new systems LINUX available.
In summary, this was a good purchase that I do not regret it to have done. If they have the opportunity they acquire the book.
