Praise for Previous Editions of
A Practical Guide
to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell
Programming
“This book is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to ‘look under the
hood’ so to speak, and really start putting the power of Linux to work.
What I find particularly frustrating about man pages is that they never
include examples. Sobell, on the other hand, outlines very clearly what
the command does and then gives several common, easy-to-understand
examples that make it a breeze to start shell programming on one’s own.
As with Sobell’s other works, this is simple, straight-forward, and easy to
read. It’s a great book and will stay on the shelf at easy arm’s reach for a
long time.”

“Overall I found this book to be quite excellent, and it has earned a spot
on the very front of my bookshelf. It covers the real ‘guts’ of Linux— the
command line and its utilities—and does so very well. Its strongest points
are the outstanding use of examples, and the Command Reference sec-
tion. Highly recommended for Linux users of all skill levels. Well done
to Mark Sobell and Prentice Hall for this outstanding book!”

“Totally unlike most Linux books, this book avoids discussing everything
via GUI and jumps right into making the power of the command line
your friend.”

“This book is the best distro-agnostic, foundational Linux reference I’ve
ever seen, out of dozens of Linux-related books I’ve read. Finding this
book was a real stroke of luck. If you want to really understand how to
get things done at the command line, where the power and flexibility of
free UNIX-like OSes really live, this book is among the best tools you’ll
find toward that end.”
