Linux: Linux For Beginners Guide To Learn Linux Command Line, Linux Operating System And Linux Commands Review: Great Guide to Linux, the Various Shells, Scripting, and Reference Guide - If you are new to the raspberry PI, and especially Linux, there are four books that are a must for anyone setting up their PI and preventing a catastrophic disaster from occurring. The first book, "Raspberry PI 3 – From Noob To Master" by Steve Ora, is 72 pages of very important information on installing and setting up your PI using a pre-formatted microSD card called a NOOB (New Out Of Box). Check my review on this book. The second book I suggest that you also order is this one Linux, the subject of this review. They basically go hand-in-hand, as once you set up your raspberry PI from the NOOB, you are going to find yourself needing to do some work that can only be done in the terminal command line, such as updating the PI's catalog of programs and libraries (update) and to make sure you have all the latest copies installed, you will need to do an "upgrade." While your PI has a nice GUI like your Windows PC or Mac, you will spend a lot of your time in the PI's terminal command line. However, this is not to be feared, as this book is very comprehensive and walks you through the most commonly used commands, starting from the very basic commands and working your way up to commands that may be more destructive if not properly used. This book takes a very logical step-by-step approach to learning the Linux commands that you will need for day-to-day maintenance and operations, such as installations, setting up new partitions, changing the ownership or permissions of a device/folders/files, or environmental variables. In some cases, the only way that you can update your OS and other programs or libraries is through the terminal program and the Linux command line. The part of this book that I like is at the end of every chapter you are given a short quiz to test your knowledge. Be sure to take the test and check your results. This will show you where you need to study more for at least go back over that part of the chapter that you may have missed something. It's better to get the answer wrong on the test questions and re-review it then it is to type the command line of mmthe PI's terminal incorrectly and wind up wiping out an entire hard drive. By the end of this book you will have a good working knowledge of Linux, including how to build Scripts that automatically execute commands either when you type the script name or set it up to run automatically using cron. The last two books, which I will be writing a review soon on each of them are: "Raspberry PI3 - Enchanted Guide For Starters" by Thomas Charleston, and "Programming the Raspberry PI - Getting Started with Python" by Simon Monk. George McGinn, Member IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and AAAS ( American Association for the Advancement of Science) Review: Okay Book For A Total Beginner But There Are Better Resources Out There - While Josh Thompsons’ Linux For Beginners Guide, at first, looks like it may be yet another self-published Kindle book, it’s actually pretty good quality once you get into it. The book is not very long, and can probably be finished in an hour or two. The material covered is on the easier side, good for a beginner’s book, and the explanations are adequate. I believe some of the coding tutorials were sources from other places online, but the author does give credit and provides links to the original website. So what is in the book? From the 8 chapters we have: installing a virtual machine, the Linux directory structure, the shell, basic commands, fish, permissions, text editors, and environmental variables. There are some interesting tidbits here I haven’t encountered before, like the CTRL+L shortcut to clear a terminal window, but most of topics are basic stuff you would see after spending a week or two with Linux. There was only one (pretty big) mistake I noticed. In the steps to install a Linux virtual machine, it looks like the author got confused, or combined two tutorials or something, because, midway through, the steps turn to show how to actually install Linux on your hard drive as the primary OS. While I did not see any other obvious errors like this, this could be pretty bad if a beginner wipes their hard drive by following the bunk instructions. Aside from that error, the rest of the book was readable, even if I only learned a few things here and there. If you are just starting out, or want to try Linux, I think The Linux Command Line by William Shotts is a better place to start. However, if you are looking for a quick and cheap read, Linux For Beginners Guide is not so bad. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,554,364 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #191 in Computer Operating Systems Theory #396 in Linux Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (59) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.3 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1547000767 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1547000760 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 130 pages | | Publication date | May 29, 2017 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Linux: Linux For Beginners Guide To Learn Linux Command Line, Linux Operating System And Linux Commands - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TRcBrAGwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Guide to Linux, the Various Shells, Scripting, and Reference Guide *by G***N on May 29, 2019* If you are new to the raspberry PI, and especially Linux, there are four books that are a must for anyone setting up their PI and preventing a catastrophic disaster from occurring.
