Summary: Missing too many commands
Comment: This book is devoid of many of the basic commands, such as "route".
Not only that, but the commands are organized into cateogories, rather than alphabetically. Once inside the category, the commands are alphabetical, but that helps little when searching for the commands in a hurry or just checking on the arguments and syntax. A lot of people would argue that such a book isn't necessary when you can type man "command" or use the --help switch, but the man pages are often semi-cryptic, and a little extra explanation goes a long way. Unfortunately, this isn't the book to get you there.

Summary: Dont buy this
Comment: This book is missing many commands. Dont buy it! They should publish it with balnk pages so you can write in very important commands. Examples are pvscan - lvscan ect... Do not buy this book thinking it contains all linux commands because it dosent!

Summary: Linux Command: Instant Reference
Comment: This valuable little book has saved my sanity numerous times. It has quick and easy to understand answers and gives common examples of how to use various commands. It is like a linux cheatsheet. Anyone can use the Linux GUI, but only a master knows the command line.
