utilities and files. As a study book the
chapters cover enough information to
complete the test exam supplied. As a
reference book for Apache it does
surprisingly well. As the information is

F or all the new users of Linux out
there who are looking for a good
introduction to the subject (and
anyone else who has not already come

since 1997, there is still nothing better
than A Practical Guide to Linux by

anyone interested in learning about
Linux.
The first part of the book is perfect
for new users as it features an
overview of Linux and then an
extensive tutorial to guide the new
user through starting to use the
system. The latter part of the book is
aimed at the more experienced user
and goes into more detail on subjects
such as GUI’s, networking and systems
administration.
The second section of the book
describes various utilities including
examples to be downloaded from the
Internet. There is a very compre-
hensive appendix, written as FAQ’s to
help the new user with
troubleshooting. All in all, this is a
classic textbook, clearly written and
with much to recommend it even to
experienced users, which has retained
its place at the front of the field.
