this book is a perfect choice for those new to linux. it is short, but complete with the descriptions of all the most important commands. it is not just a rip-off of the linux man pages. the author provides good examples and draws reader's attention to what really matters. also, you will never be bored by the style: the examples of using the commands are sparkling with humour and friendly attitude to the reader.
this book is something more than just a phrasebook. it is a perfect primer for any linux beginner.
