A bit outdated. Also, it was not what i was expecting.

Obviously this is not a work of fiction that one reads through from beginning to end--but you would certainly learn a lot if you did so. Carla Schroder's technical writing is clear, simple, and presented in short "recipes" that are easy to understand, and not overwhelming if you're a Linux newbie.

On O'Reilly's web site there is an downloadable update to the Kindle edition (I can't speak to other ebook editions), but, caveat emptor, it is not free, though in my opinion reasonably priced.

Linux Cookbook
Practical Advice for Linux Users & System Admins
O'Reilly Press
ISBN 0-596-00640-3
$ (and worth every penny).

The Linux Cookbook is the sort of book that quickly becomes filthy and
dog-eared. The sort that lives beside your console and is accessed
frequently. It is not a shelf-queen.

Targeted at the experienced Linux user, it is designed to provide quick
and concise answers to daily Linux problems. It doesn't teach Linux, it
doesn't help with system architecture. It solves problems.

Using a simple recipe format, this book covers all the things that a
user or sysadmin might want to do, but probably doesn't do often enough
to remember the syntax. It makes an excellent replacement for Man pages.

This book is the antithesis to those big wordy tomes like "Running XX"
and "Learn XX in 24 Hours". I find that those types of books are more
about selling paper than teaching anything useful.

It is unusual for me to buy a book I've read, but I am going to buy my
own copy of the Linux Cookbook so I can have a handy reference. I have
already used the book to solve 2 problems.
