“I would strongly recommend this book as a primary textbook for a course or 
tutorial on the use of Linux or as a companion reference book in an operating 
systems (OS) course. This is also a great book for business computer systems 
students, IT personnel who need to jump onto the Linux/Unix wagon, or for an 
engineer or engineering student who wants to learn more about a workstation that 
hosts his or her computer-aided design software.”
—Aleksander Malinowski, Bradley University
“This book is a broad and deep look at everything you need to do to dive into 
Linux. Both experienced users and Linux newbies will have something to learn 
from this book; it’s worthy of keeping on your shelf as a reference.”
—Peter Bartoli, San Diego State University
“This is a good book that covers a comprehensive list of Linux topics for college 
students. Unlike many Linux books that are written for system administrators or 
software professionals who develop Linux systems or applications, this book 
takes a unique approach and discusses the topics at a level that is appropriate for 
undergraduate students who are learning Linux.”
—Xiannong Meng, Bucknell University
