Book Review: Linux phrasebook
In the introduction, Scott says: "While man pages are useful, they are often not enough, for one simple reason: They lack examples."
Oh, yeah. Boy does THAT strike a chord. They lack examples, and they lack thorough exploration of the command. I really like the idea of digging in and going beyond the man page (and I've done that here now and then).
So, how did Scott do? Very well, I think: I liked this - a lot.
Scott gives examples and discussion of just about everything you are likely to do at the command line.
