Product Description
Linux Pocket Guide gets you up to speed quickly on day-to-day Linux use. It's organized the way you use Linux: by function, not just alphabetically. It's not the 'bible of Linux; it's a practical and concise guide to the options and commands you need most. It starts with general concepts like files and directories, the shell, and X windows, and then presents detailed overviews of the most essential commands, with clear examples. You'll learn each command's purpose, usage, options, location on disk, and even the RPM package that installed it. The Linux Pocket Guide is tailored to Fedora Linux--the latest spin-off of Red Hat Linux--but most of the information applies to any Linux system. Throw in a host of valuable power user tips and a friendly and accessible style, and you'll quickly find this practical, to-the-point book a small but mighty resource for Linux users.

 Awesome reference book June 22, 2010
Linda (Houston, Texas)
Linux quick reference guide packed with a lots of good information.
Highly recommend!!!
I have found this guide to be extremely useful and well organized.
Great On The Job Reference June 1, 2010
Michael A. Saxton (USA)
I don't think this requires a long explanation. This is an easy to use, quick reference guide that will serve any admin well. No matter how good one is as a Linux Sysop, there are a lot of complexities that are made easier if you have a little something to help you. Well, this is it. Grab it, you won't regret it!

Jeffery Page (Michigan, USA)
It is a handy little guide/reference for Red Hat Linux (Fedora Core 1, Nov 2003 specifically) and even some shell programing (scripts).It has chapters to get you started, an index.179 pages + 10 page index.
Keep it with you March 25, 2010

This is just the thing to keep to hand, if you want a quick reminder about a command's syntax. Yes, you could search online, but you don't always want yet another browser window/tab, and who knows, you may not have internet access. At about 4in x 7in and just under 200 pages, you can keep it with you all the time.
We (well I) can't remember every command, and I found the grouping by function and a comprehensive index made it easy to find things. Perhaps I'd suggest a few more blank pages at the back so we can add extra notes on other packages commonly used?
Highly recommended January 19, 2010
Victor Chaves (MIAMI, FLORIDA, US)
This is the book every Linux person should have. Great introductory part for those unfamiliar with the Linux commands and a detailed part describing all the important Linux commands under heaven, all in a very small book you can carry anywhere. In fact you cannot go wrong with technical books from O'Reilly because they only publish the best.
