Linux in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition Review, November 25 1999

Regardless of which distribution of Linux you operate, you'll need a volume of commands and options and variables and syntax and functions and quick descriptions in a handy, small footprint, volume. It's hard to believe that 600 pages could fit within a 9" x 6" x 1.125" space.

The Linux In A Nutshell box is perhaps the most valuable tool that any Linux administrator could have. Many times, when I have been stuck at a dead end while working on my Linux machines, the book has come to my aide and allowed me to complete my tasks quickly, easily, and properly.

This is a comment on the first edition that I have used for a couple of years but, looking at the TOC of the Second Edition, it seems to still apply.
The list of commands in Chapeter 2 is in alphabetical order only. If you remember the name of a command you can use man pages instead of the book but if you don't, the book does not help.
A few pages at the beginning, listing the commands by task and cross referencing to other commands would make the book much more useful.

Media reviews
"Whether you're a Linux user looking for a handy desktop reference, or a system administrator in search of a clear, compact guide and overall view of the Linux system, Linux in a Nutshell is for you. The folks at O'Reilly have been publishing "...in a Nutshell" books for several years now. Linux in a Nutshell is not a book for pure beginners. However, as a desk reference for everyday users, programmers, and system administrators, alike, it is absolutely necessary. All the information is condensed in an organized, readable format, available for those times when questions arise- as they inevitably will. Having this book around will go a long way toward facilitating the resolution of problems." --Borders.com, July 1999
