Excellent Book
The book took me -- literally -- from no Linux/Unix knowledge at the age of 14 and walked me through. Before hand I had been using DOS all the time. It taught me the usage of fips, fdisk, ls, ps, etc. I went through the whole thing with virtually no glitc hes. The book is excellent. To prove this, I know, 17 years old, 3 years later, have started installing Linux on company computers looking for an internet access solution. The book started me off and got me going.
