## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for Newbies and Non-Linux Peeps...
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013*

I resisted 5-stars only because I was expecting a little more coverage on the shell side, as compared to the GUI and their plentiful colored screenshots.  Having said that, this was my oversight and I realize other books are available for more depth at the command prompt.  I found the main (first) sections of the book around user interface pretty basic and didn't pay any attention to the little voice in my head that considered it "very elementary".  The fact is: this book would suffice for someone who needs to understand the GUI for Linux is not that different from what they may be used to with Windows, generally.  However, this is an excellent 'getting to know you, getting to know me' type of book for beginners and non-Linux techies.  I've grown up with Windows and generally not required much exposure to Linux - until recently.  My current job requires I transfer all I know about the old days of DOS and the Windows Power shell over to Citrix, Linux and other flavors of Terminal services.  For the money, it's a great starter that will prep you well for the more advanced techniques.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Decent Reference Book.....
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014*

When I found this Book in a Search for Linux beginner books I purchased it anyway even though it was out of date somewhat and wasn't exactly what I needed, but it was inexpensive enough. I was searching for explanations of various items before I wipe out Windows XP PRO and load either Linux Mint Mate #14,15, or 16. Just wanted more information on other types of Linux 'distro's and basic information. Those areas are covered enough for me. So Yes, it was worth my money to buy this book even though it will most likely sit in my book collection and only used as a reference from time to time 'IF' needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good, but...
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2014*

I'm new to Linux and I wanted to be able to use it in conjunction with exploring the Raspberry Pi.  This looks like a good way to become acquainted with Linux, except it is aimed exclusively at Windows users and there are no provisions for doing the early steps on a Mac.  Since the Mac has become a major platform, this seems to be a major flaw.
