This is the a great book for learning the command line in Linux. This book assumes no prior knowledge of command line interface and starts you out with the most basic of tasks. It progresses quickly and gives you exercises to play around with at the end of each chapter. The command line is SO much more powerful than any Graphical User Interface you will ever use. To quote the book, "Graphical User Interfaces make easy tasks easy, while command line interfaces make difficult tasks possible". One of the best reasons to learn the command line? Have you ever noticed that hackers never use a mouse?!
This book is very useful, I am a new user of Linux and it is very helpful and well organized. Have only used it a few times in the two weeks that I have had the book. I have other Linux books but this one is the go to book. If you need a good book to get your self more familiar with Linux I highly recommend this book.
