Linux Pocket Guide: Essential Commands

This pocket guide helped me get a job! Really! I needed a book to review Linux commands, so I purchased this to read on the plane. Sure, I've been a Unix / Linux Engineer for 20 years and have done coding, but wanted a quick refresh of commands. While flying to the job interview, I quickly read through this guide. (Well, I made it halfway through in 4 hours). The only 2 Linux questions asked on my interview were things I had forgotten over the years but quickly remembered when reading this book - how to use "chattr" and the obscure run-levels. Great book to have for a quick review! More easily read than man pages, just as in-depth, and commands are grouped in a logical manner.

I work in IT primarily with Microsoft systems. However, in todays interconnected computer infrastructure Linux is a reality and sometimes I find myself confronted with a Linux command line. This book is such a help, with remembering the proper syntax or command that is needed. It is just the right size so it really does fit in your pocket, because in a world where computers are everywhere, sometimes it isn't easy, possible, or even practical to 'look the answer up online.' If you like me sometimes need an accurate, concise, and relatively comprehensive Linux reference, this is a lifesaver.

This is a great supplement to my learning Linux. I have a solid understanding of much of Linux, but this helps me to remember some of the little details such as command calls. Nice quick reference though. The shipping was great and the book arrived in perfect condition.

Clear, concise and straightforward about what you get and what you don’t. What you get is a great reference thst is indispensable if you ever command line around, which you should because it’s clearly more fun then the GUI at the end of the day. I never thought I’d say that but it’s true -- learning the back end has been a rewarding experience. For a guy who in 1984 got the first Mac when I was 12 years old. I’m still obsessed with the idea of Mac paint and how revolutionary it seemed. Now to know what actually happens -- now so many years later - under the hood in even a tiny way, is kind of crazy, and can’t argue . This book is a great pocket guide, with the essential commands, to get you from a to b (or PWD to CD) without knocking out some Sudo function you shouldn’t have messed with anyway.

A great "quick reference" for many essential Linux commands, including common tools and utilities. I am slowly but surely switching over from Windows to Linux, and this is a handy guide that I keep right next to the computer. This guide doesn't tell you everything (which would require a set of encyclopedias!), but it is organized and indexed well enough to steer you in the right direction. If you need full information about a command, you can always reference the "man pages" on the computer, but they often provide too much information to browse through quickly - hence this guide.

If you're looking for a Linux "how to" book, this isn't it. What this IS though is a good "must have" book in my opinion for anyone using ANY Linux distro. It WILL help you to navigate through those "how to" lessons or videos and give you a road map of sorts of how to perform many command line processes that are necessary in the Linux environment. Linux IS NOT like Windows. Windows is a pretty strictly GUI (General User Interface) or better known as pictures and recognized sources. Linux did try to become more user-friendly with the Ubuntu distro but didn't quite achieve what it was intended to do. One of the benefits of Linux are there are so many flavors and distros that you're bound to find something that makes it a little more palatable for you. For anyone switching over from Windows it's a big learning curve and it's going to take you a while. I recommend a dedicated machine for Linux or Virtual Box which is free for Windows users. Operating in Virtual Box insures there's no cross contaminating with your Windows OS as often happens if you try the alleged "dual-boot" method. This book will help you to become much more familiar with some of the needed command lines you will use to achieve things similar to what you are used to doing in Windows. At the same time there is a much higher level of control over your Distro/OS in that YOU get to decide what and how you update. There are also many more features in Linux but you need to know how to get to them and what commands to use to download and install them, that's where this book will be a good guide for you. Making folders, specifying or creating directories and undoing changes are all command line processes so that's where this book will come in handy for you. Over time you will begin to have instinctive reaction of how to achieve certain things the same way or better than you currently do in Windows now. Linux is not a replacement for Windows but an enhanced way of doing similar things and more than you can do with Windows. Instead of having to constantly refer to websites for explanations this book will guide you through some of the how's and why's and what to use when.

Just what you need to get started with Linux. Seems reasonably up to date. It does assume that you know your way around your computer and have been exposed to Unix or Linux. Well organized with commands grouped by topic, eg file access, string editing, etc. This makes it a good reference for novices. Standard references are usually organized alphabetically, which is great if you know what you are looking for. Linux commands are often named cryptically, eg awk or tar. Recommend for novices and people trying to refresh their skills after a hiatus, like me.

Several times a year, I have to work on Linux systems. This pocket-sized reference is a treasure as I struggle to recall obscure operators. It has a permanent place in my field kit. Jerry

I had the first edition and almost wore it out. 3rd is much more up-to-date. This is the book I grab first to find a quick answer or refresh a brain cell. Always recommend it to friends. Where's my commission check?

This book won't teach you everything, I think it just scratches the surface of what linux can do. But if you just need a quick cheat sheet or want to use linux more, buy it.

It's OK, but I thought it would have a few more commands. Some of my favorites are missing completely or missing a fair bit of what I would consider useful information. I know this is a "pocket guide" but I think with an 10 pages this could have been bumped up 1 or 2 stars. As it is I'll need to write my own notes to stick in the back.

Hey sports fans. Simply put, a perfect reference for the command line on your Linux PC. Really, an information overload, as there are too many things to remember. So having the pocket guide is a very big help. Very much recommended for the Linux enthusiast. Have a very nice day.

I recently took a job as a Linux Admin that is a training opportunity to move up. This book is fabulous for a quick go to when needed. Google is still my first choice, but sometimes, you need the book. Really helpful and well written.

This is a handy tool for Linux users that go beyond the GUI. Has a lot of useful terminal commands that are common across most all Linux distros. Small and pocket-sized.

Its a good book, but its old school. You'll learn much faster by taking online courses and tutorials. You can learn everything in the book online.

Handy book I love it if I need a quick reference guide. The only thing I had an issue with was downloading the test files the books provides. Kali wouldn't open the files. So maybe that was on my end. But all in all it's a great book!!!

Only use it a little so far book contains a lot of useful commands and has pretty good layout to find what you are looking for.

Could offer more basic commands. And I personally would like to see a description of each command.

Needed a book to help with quick reference working with linux and this works perfectly.

I bought this to go along with a lost copy of Linux in a Nutshell. Hard to do without.

I disliked that I had to search for the practicing files of this book. the url didn't work lucky me I know my way how to search and found the files on the web. I used to study network administration and felt like I wanted to learn better and more commands of Linux. the book does give you the information and learns you the essential commands of linux

I am satisfied with this book. I don't always have to jump on my laptop to find a command.

Useful if you only use linux every now and then. I'm always forgetting commands, so this had been a great help.

Great reference. Everything one will require is in here.

Great book to carry around. It has a lot of useful information even for its size. Recommend it.

For those moments you just can't remember the options.

This book is packed with info.

You'll constantly be referring back to this book for guidance! Great help learning and for re-enforcing learning. Easy to use and search for what you're looking for.

This is an excellent product. Shipping was excellent. I will update this post if I find any issues with the product. I recommend this product and seller.

Too small font, not good contents

Has all the basic and more advance information for someone like myself who had no real knowledge of Lenox, decent price, have made good use of it already!

Exactly what I needed in our server room, a handy lookup guide for those bothersome Unix / Linux command arguments.

Excellent reference material.

Very helpful to use at work when working with Linux. There are so many things that can be done on Linux that it can be easy to forget all of the different commands! This book keeps it fresh and easy to find!

Excellent reference! Great review of Linux commands with just enough detail to get the job done. Organization of topics is easy to follow. Helpful examples.

Perfect little guide to Linux. If you're looking for a glossary of different commands and which tags to use, then definitely get this book!

This is sort of a required reference for the Linux user, especially for those new to the operating system. Keep it by your side at all times!

I like how this pocket book has enough information for beginners.

Very useful to have, especially when one gets older and forget things.

Helped me a lot.

This is a great book and reference guide. I started studying for RHCSA exam and I also do "wargames" challenges online to practice my Bash skills, and I have to say that this book has been great and very helpful. It's fairly small so you can carry it but right now it sits right next to me and I use it every time when I use Linux. Although you can probably find all information online or by simply using command, I still find this book to be worth buying. I already learned a lot from it. I have a feeling that this guide is going to get pretty worn out, but that's okay, looking forward to buying a new copy when new edition comes out. Get it if you need a good reference for command line.

It is a must have for all Linux user

Great little book I have this one and the one for powershell. I keep them in my backpack or work bag at all times.

Nice book to have with you. Just the right size at about 261 pages. Wouldn't want it any larger. Fits in an inner vest pocket or jacket nicely.

Excellent

This is a compact guide that has more detail than I expected. A novice could read it and have a pretty good grasp of Linux on short time.

very good resource to have. Thank you

great Pocket size book for on the go study. easy to learn and read. not to boring. good paper quality and cover.

Yes. An easy to use reference.

The first best Linux book I’ve read. However, this book is only for people who have previous programming knowledge. 😊😊😊

Excellent. but of course useless if you don't run linux! Advanced users only.

Excellent book, very useful. Thank you!

keep it handy

Just what I needed.

You going to play with Linux, this is very helpful.

Great pocket guide.

Great book for both beginner and for experienced, levelling out rough spots in knowledge, and that's not even its' intended purpose - being a handy reference guide. It does that job too splendidly.

This book is just right for everyday reference. Well organized, very informative, clear explanations, easy to follow, and perfect size. It's part of my everyday carry. It stays in my bag and I use it often.

for a guy in jail

Not nearly comprehensive enough

good one

Well-written and to the point

Taking a Linux class now so this book has saved me from copying down tons of notes.

Very thorough Linux command reference.

good

Excellent, as advertised, excellent quality.

Lot of useful commands at your fingertips. I use this daily.

Got this as a gift for my dad, who is a big Linux nerd. Came a day later than expected, but he loves it!

The Linux Pocket Guide: Essential Commands by Daniel J. Barett is a great tool.

Great book to have on hand when a quick reference is needed. Small enough to carry anywhere in anything. The pocket size is a spot on description.

Very helpful and love the small-ish size book.

My husband who is navigating his way through Linux going this book very helpful. An appreciated birthday gift.

Very useful if your not familiar with bash commands, any college student that is going to be dealing with Linux or Abuntu this pocket guide will be helpful as well with certain commands.

This book helped me pass my exam:)

Good reference for advanced users, great intro for newbs. Taught me some cool tricks.

Nice quick reference to have in your desk.

I love this book. It has the right amount of information or content to start on Linux commands.

Great book to dig into the nuts and bolts of Linux.

Great pocket reference

You should not expect to learn Linux in depth with this one, as the author states "you will only scratch the surface". But a more advanced user, who just needs to gain some quick knowledge to do some real work in a Linux distribution, will be happy with the book.

Awesome guide for me as a beginner

Goes right into my working bag! Very smart buy

Fantastic reference.

A good command line function text. Makes the commands clear.

real Handy

Great

Nice handy reference for novice and practitioners

Good reference book to have.

Just what I was looking for. Quick reference, I like it

Awesome! Got it as a reference for a Linux class. Definitely came in handy. Great resource.

As always very well put together

Good reference book.

Nice pocket guide to own.

Awesome product and it was delivered super fast.

It is an excelent guide, very precise and organized. Im thinking of buying another to always have it in my work. I found it very useful for the daily administration of my systems.

Great Service, Excellent transaction

great reference book

Thank you. It easy ro understand.

I keep this close to my keyboard as I find it more convenient than man pages.

These books are simply the best. So much information easily delivered in a brief explaination. Most linux books take 3 to four pages to cover what this does in half a page- and equally as informative. I highly recommend to anyone learning linux, or the sys admin wanting to learn some new tricks.

Just one of those books that you cannot have a linux system without having this book. One of the first ones that I purchased, and then I bought the hard copy. It has helped me a great deal in getting started in using Linux.

good pocketbook.

Good book

For being a small pocket book it has very good quick info, I am fairly new to Linux and this pocket book has helped me very much, and I also see others at work with this book. It could be priced a little less though.

Great pocket reference! It's always in my bag with my MB Air)))

Not good from my perspective. Hard to find needed commands. Poorly organized and cross indexed, and seems incomplete. .

good reference, not a book you can read just to learn Linux

A Great Read... A great book for all Linux users new and well seasoned.

Ideal for the Linux person

Good information.

Just the right size.

good guide

Great

Very useful, love it.

Great reference, a must have.

Great seller, product was as described.

Linux today is ubiquitous in the IT domain. Not necessarily on personal desktop computers (though that is beginning to change due to its very "low-priced" entry cost (save for your time), but certainly on the server side and in portable appliances of all types, and it will only continue to grow at a rapid rate. Every IT professional developer, admin, architect needs to know it - particularly at the command line where the true power of this O/S shines through. This book is all about the command line, not about GUI's and single clicking. It could be easily a 1 semester course for a Linux intro, if it's not already, but the book is only $25 and that's a better deal than 12 weeks in front of an instructor. The book concentrates on the command line with a nice section on shell programming near the end. It also is Linux distro agnostic, so no matter what your flavor of this operating system is - Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora and all the rest, this book will serve you well. It got me up to speed in a few weeks, much faster that the documentation that came with my distro did, enough so I was confident working in the terminal window in short order. Other topics which are more advanced (i.e. Networking, Installation, Desktops) are mentioned in brief and where necessary, are referred to more advanced tomes including the Linux/Unix Man Pages and supporting documentation. The book fits in your back pocket, and if you don't have wifi in your favorite pub, this book will take care of you. Most established Linux pros will likely have read it a long time ago, but it's very suitable for any newbie who likes the textbook method of learning. O'Reilly could have called it "A Linux Guru in Your Pocket". And if you are thinking of looking in other directions besides the one that Microsoft has convinced you to look at, this book is a great start on your new journey.

The kindle version I received paged from an early section on command line syntax to somewhere in the index towards the end of the e-book. Paging backwards toward the errant section generated an error, with an advisory to delete and re-download the e-book. Did, same result. Re-booted kindle, same result. I returned the book and ordered the paperback. I can't review the content until I receive the paperback. I have years of sysadmin experience with AIX and Linux before retiring, but now need a refresher and "cheat sheet" on Linux to deal with replacing Windows on my home machines.

Simple as it gets. Covers alot of ground for a pocket size book.

There is a lot more info in this little book than I expected. Good value!

I didn't buy it from Amazon but I definitely wanted to review it. This a really well composed book for quick references. Highly recommended.

Using it a hundred times a week! Thanks for writing it

Down in the fine print of the description for this book you'll find: Product Dimensions: 4.3 x 0.5 x 6.9 inches I'm not qualified to judge the quality of the content yet. But in my opinion the size of the print is way too small ! It's tough enough to read a technical subject but to have to strain to do so is such a source of irritation. You've been warned.

a nice book

You can think of this book as brief "man" pages for core Linux commands. In many cases, it's a little more understandable than the man pages for the same command. That being said, not all options for all commands are listed. What you'll find here are not only the most likely commands you'll use (outside of specific, specialized areas), but also the most likely switches and options on each of those. Keep in mind that some commands can have dozens or even over a hundred options and switches, most of which the majority of us will never use. This is a great book to have handy as even experienced Linux admins can't remember every last command and option. It's great to have a small, portable, quick reference guide when you're on the spot.

This is a very good book. So far every thing that I have tried has worked. Which, is unusual for most books recently. I definitely recommend it

I really needed this, it's going to come in handy

Great summary of linux.

amazing product!!!

I started a new Linux systems support role with only minimal prior experience - this pocket guide has been invaluable as a quick reference guide for both basic commands and the more arcane ones. It's not perfect, but 9 /10 times the command I want clarification on is in there with a good explanation.

Book was bought cheaper due to being Used Condition. The book looked and felt new when package opened, yes there were minor marks but certainly nothing which prevented me enjoying the book, in fact I've had far worse from high street book shops when they've sold as new. I feel the book could do with another release just to keep pace with Linux developments but overall happy with content.

There are omissions of basic setup routines for different functionality, like say email, you need to set up your email details before you can use command line email, but it doesn't go through any of that. It's really just a quick reference book.

Is not super-extensive but is practical and very useful. It explains nice tricks.

Great little book to keep handy while coding.

The Linux pocket guide is an essential quick reference guide to Linux. It's a quick and simple way of working out the syntax to commands and deals with a lot of common Linux tasks. I was recommended this book by a Linux system admin who always carries a copy of the book for that moment when you need to get an answer quickly.

I love the Linux pockst guides (I have all three editions). Although do note this edition only includes command line software.

This pocket book is superbly written, but not so well published. Sadly I found the print a little too small and not a very crisp print. Purely a personal problem, but nevertheless thanks to Mr Barrett.

Excellent pocket guide to Linux. Does the job.

I always keep these little books handy. Excellent, concise reference.

This is great for when you need a quick look up of common commands

Useful reference just getting into Linux.

Literally amazing book.

Very comprehensive! I only wished it dealt a bit more with data manipulation (e.g. cut).

Nice size and useful

Great book, thoroughly recommend

Did I really need a pocket guide, given that I have the Internet and 800-page books on Linux? Surely that covers everything? Yes, but I didn't have a pocket guide. I just had to have it because it was available. That said, I continue to find it useful. It's more up-to-date than my books, and it's sometimes faster than sifting through the forums. The author has packed a lot of useful info into this little book, which is very well organized and clearly written. To me, as someone who's still learning Linux, it was a worthwhile investment.

This is my second pocket reference book from the same publisher, the booklet is a very handy reference to keep at your side, I administer Linux machines from time to time and need to refresh my memory, and this books is far faster than googling or searching online, especially when you are rolling up a site and have low coverage, plus it fits well in a pocket/case. The quality of the content is just fine and the book is very well written and organized (3rd edition)

At first I was a little disappointed. For the price and the reputation of this book, I expected more helpful command examples and variations then are given - but then again, it is a "pocket" reference. The print is a bit small, but well done and readable, and on decent paper. The commands are mostly in alphabetical order and indexed. The more I thumbed through this book, the more I liked it. Overall a good pocket reference book. Arrived in brand new condition.

Like the rest of Linux books, this thing costs double of what it should. Its 20€ for tiny book that could fit into your pocket. The book is ok, the price is not. Same happens with Linux for Dummies, and the other books about Linux. I've made the math, and to buy 4 or 5 books to get my from newbie to intemediate user in Linux is going to cost more than 150€. Thats the price of buying a full Windows License. It's a pitty that a this may put off some people willing to start into linux but the cost of a 'free' platform comes with such a cost in learning books. With this prices, they are only enforcing people not buying the books, and just downloading them. And I say it sincerelly.

Se cercate una lettura semplice e veloce che vi dia solo un assaggio di tutti i comandi presenti una classica UNIX shell (senza essere sommersi dai dettagli) questo è assolutamente il libro che fa per voi. Sono un utente Linux da più di 3 anni e grazie a questo libro ho appreso tantissimi nuovi comandi, e approfondito altri che conoscevo in maniera superficiale. Il libro mette da subito in chiaro che se cercate una spiegazione che vada fino al più piccolo dei dettagli di ogni comando, questo non è il libro che fa per voi (il comando man è ciò che cercate invece, tra l'altro spiegato anch'esso all'interno del libro). Questo libro vi mostrerà i comandi e gli switch che più probabilmente vi troverete ad utilizzare nell'amministrare una macchina UNIX. Ulteriore nota positiva, il libro presenta un ottimo reference alfabetico nelle pagine finali per poter velocemente saltare alla pagina del comando che ci interessa.

If I had bought this book sooner, it would have saved me a lot of time. But I didn't and learnt to use the command line by reading about it on the internet. And yet, experienced as I am right now, this book still offers insight. So if you are someone who is interested in using the command line more often, then this book is certainly one to read.

Yes this redundant, having full size books about linux. I've debated buying this since about 2001 when I first started using linux. But stuck in the hospital, I decided I wanted it. It has the importsnt things, and maybe I'll do things better having this in an easy format. It is now a fairly recent edition, so anything new is herit diesn't cover gui programs or programming languages.

El libro me parece muy bueno aborda una buena cantidad de comandos muy útiles, ideal por si vas empezando, y para los que tienen un poco de experiencia con la terminal en Linux; como referencia la verdad que sirve bastante ya que cuenta con varios ejemplos y explica incluso otros usos que se le pueden dar a los comados,. Le doy cuatro estrellas solo por que llego un poco abollado del empastado pero de ahi todo muy bien.

this book is not showing me how to install debian. you know that debian would get alot more users if it was easier to install people. just give me an install disk wiht an point and click install

Un "diccionario" de linux para tener siempre a mano, y consultar cuando sea necesario. O bien, para estudiar y aprender los comandos más básicos, los más útiles, otros menos básicos, y otros más específicos. El tamaño es el adecuado para llevarlo en la cartera del trabajo o en la mochila sin que pese ni ocupe. Realmente es de bolsillo.

Ampliamente recomendado para quienes inician en la administración de sistemas Linux, es un buen punto de partida y al ser de tamaño reducido se puede llevar a todos lados para consulta sin problemas.

This book gives you a good reference of common linux commands and it size is very handy to keep it close to your linux machine. When your not an expert but do have some experience with OS command line will be glad to have this as a reference at hand.

libricino ben fatto. un manuale da portarsi dietro per una documentazione dedicata ai comandi del terminale Linux e al suo sistema operativo.

Es un buen manual de referencia. Se hecha de menos algún área más especifica, pero si empezamos a meter cosas ya no sería 'de bolsillo'. Sin duda lo recomiendo para quien use Linux.

This is a great reference book especially for beginners who are a bit nervous.

Estoy adentrandome en el mundo de linux y es un buen libro para tener como referencia.

The book is small, good print and paper. Content is as expected from pocket book

El libro llego en perfecto estado y en menos del tiempo estimado. Respecto al contenido, muy recomendable para quien sea y también para quien no sea un usuario del Linux. Lenguaje técnico amigable.

Muy buen libro, es de gran ayuda para u a referencia rápido sobre algún comando que no tengas muy claro

Es un libro muy practico para cualquiera que se desea introducir en el uso de kernel Linux con información muy concisa y resumida

Favourite book for learning book, awsome quality paper and nice cover , the content is just of tge charts.

Handy guide for the different Linux Command lines and functions. Well worth the price!

Auch mit diesem Buch allein könnte man sich durch Linux kämpfen. Es erklärt viel abgesehen davon, dass es eine gute Referenz ist.

I keep it nearby always for reference as i learn

Good book but price could have been less

commands are not in an intuitive order and the index must be used each time to find the right page. Otherwise good explanation of the commands.
