Have you ever gotten stuck trying to remember a command? Have you ever tried running Linux in text-only mode and gotten so fricking pissed you gave up? Well here's the book for you.

Linux Pocket Guide is by O'Reilly Press and is written especially for Fedora Core users. However, don't let that deter you. It contains many commands that any Linux user would use on a daily basis.

Like I mentioned this book especially focused on Fedora Core Users. It gives a quick intro about Fedora Core, but quickly moves to the command line. Here it starts describing the different commands.

The layout for commands is very clear. First they are seperated into different sections such as, Basic File Operations, Email, Web Browsing, etc. Then the commands are in alphabetical order from there. When you look at the commands first it shows you the command and how it's used, then below that it will describe what the command does, then gives you the arguments.

The only thing I can think of that's bad is that since it is focused on Fedora Core, that some other distro-sepcific software (mostly package managers like apt-get or Pkgtool) aren't explained.

I would highly recommend this for any Linux user. It's a cheap reference (the cheapest in-print Linux book I've ever seen), it fits in your pocket for those big wig sysadmins or road warriors and it's very informative. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to it because I can't remember that the arguments for .bz2 are jxvf instead of zxvf (what .gz files use). If you've got $10 laying around go buy this book.

This book is a great reference for anyone that would rather have a book then use the man pages. It better organized then them, however is not as indepth. As I'm still learning this works great for any time you want to double check something, but sure can help even experianced users.
It even has parts taking about programming.
