A Practical Guide to Linux® Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming (http://www.pearsoned.co.uk/Bookshop/detail.asp?affid=TRE&t=211&item=100000000075203)Site offer To be truly productive with Linux, you need to thoroughly master the shells and the command line. Until now, you had to buy two books to gain that mastery: a tutorial on fundamental Linux concepts and techniques, plus a separate reference. Worse that that, most Linux references offer little more than prettied-up man pages. Now, there’s a far better solution. Renowned Linux expert Mark Sobell (http://www.pearsoned.co.uk/bookshop/Results.asp?sRS=Mark+Sobell&affid=TRE&t=211&SearchCriteria=%40Type%3D%271%27%2C%40Author%3D%27common%2Eauthorstring+like+%27%27%25Mark+Sobell%25%27%27%27%2C%40Download%3D1) has brought together comprehensive, insightful guidance on the tools system administrators, developers, and power users need most, and an outstanding day-to-day reference, both in the same book - A Practical Guide to Linux® Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming. (http://www.pearsoned.co.uk/bookshop/detail.asp?affid=TRE&t=211&item=100000000075203)
