Aiman Adlawan ，

I was setting up linux os on my machine and spent some time to make my hand wet on it。 I got this book and i knew it was really an old edition like more than ten years。 Though the contents were still old but i still find some of them useful。。 i should have bought a newer ones。The basic setup and installation are still the same on the book， the rest are already outdated。

Bonne référence sur comment installer des systèmes sur Linux et des logiciel alternative essentielles。 Des nombreux exemples sont donnés pour Ubuntu et Fedora。 Il y a des commentaires sur les autres systèmes en bref。 Plusieurs façons de les installer sont proposées。 Le commun de partitionner du disque dure。 Ou utiliser Wubi : installer Ubuntu comme l’application de Windows。 Ça permet de l'avoir deux systèmes， mais les fichiers de Ubuntu sont visibles sur Windows c’est moins sécurisé。 Ou créer un Bonne référence sur comment installer des systèmes sur Linux et des logiciel alternative essentielles。 Des nombreux exemples sont donnés pour Ubuntu et Fedora。 Il y a des commentaires sur les autres systèmes en bref。 Plusieurs façons de les installer sont proposées。 Le commun de partitionner du disque dure。 Ou utiliser Wubi : installer Ubuntu comme l’application de Windows。 Ça permet de l'avoir deux systèmes， mais les fichiers de Ubuntu sont visibles sur Windows c’est moins sécurisé。 Ou créer une machine virtuelle que je vais tenter。 Sur les exemples il y a des Google gadgets qui sont， par exemple， calendrier， gmail， gmaps…Le Shell est très utile。 Il permet de lancer des logiciels tout de suite， choisir la priorité de processus， voir la hiérarchie des processus actifs。。。 。。。more

*[ Ok， it is the first time I ever read a book about linux， mostly I used GUI and read manuals for the little knowledge I have， it was about time to start with some shell。- ]

Eh。 Not particularly well-written， in my opinion。 Could have used a lot more in terms of helping the user with everyday tasks rather than trying to shove everything up to and including CLI system administration in such a short book。 It's okay， but not the first book I would hand someone to learn Linux。 Eh。 Not particularly well-written， in my opinion。 Could have used a lot more in terms of helping the user with everyday tasks rather than trying to shove everything up to and including CLI system administration in such a short book。 It's okay， but not the first book I would hand someone to learn Linux。 。。。more

Not helpful。 This is for people uninitiated in Ubuntu。 I suppose my main gripe is that I need something on a more intermediate level than neophyte。

Was the more useful of the first two Linux books I read
