## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The book works.  Many do not1
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018*

After reading through the book on Kindle and then trying some of the suggestion I found that this book is useful in using the command line.  You should be somewhat familiar with it from either older computer when no user graphic interface(GUI) was available or more sophisticated high-end computer where it is used more than the GUI. Care should be taken in using these commands since you are dealing with your machine on a systems level.

### ⭐⭐

    Good for the Linux novice, but bring some existing technical chops...
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012*

It's a pretty good bet that most folks taking the leap into any Linux distribution are not Luddites, and probably already accomplished users of other operating systems (and whether it's an Apple or Microsoft operating system, they probably have some idea of what's going on behind the GUI and how all the parts fit together...physically and logically).In my case, I used Unix machines at work for about about 8 years before a corporate migration to Redmond products a decade ago. With the increasing user friendliness of some Linux distros, a recent download of Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Precise Pangolin) allowed me to finally perform most of the tasks that I can do in Windows (an earlier Linux excursion about five years ago ended when I was unable to get a wireless network adapter or sound to work in three different distributions).Le's start with some praise for the current Ubuntu release. 12.04.1 arrived in a downloaded Windows installer package that automatically set up a dual operating system bootloader menu. It appears after the BIOS splash screen and allows permits running both Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same machine. I added a [[ASIN:B0036R9XRU Netgear USB wireless adapter that Ubuntu recognized immediately), accepted some updates from Canonical and was up and running in a shiny new Linux distro. Unbuntu immediately recognized my wireless mouse, ran the monitor at the correct resolution, and both sound and Internet connectivity were immediately available.And then it became clear that I needed a little more help than my now faded memories of Unix command line interactions were mostly gone. Jonathan Moeller's "The Ubuntu Beginner's Guide" was exactly what I needed to rediscover the power of the command line terminal, and to help me through things that had always been done for me by sysadmins in the past (like installing software).The book's table of contents includes 22 chapters addressing 15 main activities in three broad categories (command line use/basic administration, server operations and games/miscellaneous). He assumes some comfort with technology, but not intimate knowledge of Linux or Unix.Three minor issues that keep this from being a 5-star reference guide:(1) The author is rather self-referential about his other career as a genre fiction writer. One mention would have been sufficient. Instead, the end of the book "bonus content" is an excerpt of his fictional material.(2) No consolidated list of commands and syntaxes. This would have been far more welcome than the excerpt of his fictional material.(3) No index. While the TOC has a rather narrow taxonomy, an index would have been very welcome.For the very reasonable price of this ebook (which I could view on the Ubuntu machine I was using via Amazon's cloud reader and an adjacent Kindle simultaneously), this is a good tool for the Ubuntu beginner.
