Great book for understanding how to run programs on the Linux operating system. Command line is not dead yet, so this is good for picking up the bare minimum to get by. My only gripe is that this book doesn't teach anything about SCREEN. This is a must have for running multiple processes in the background without closing on logout. See this IBM tutorial for more: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-gnu_screen/
Very handy for anyone starting out with Linux.
