    SDA doesn't just mean SCSI anymore.
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2020*

I had an "ah hah" moment while reading this morning and actually had to look up a definition that I JUST READ from this book.You, the author, said that sda stood for SCSI drives and my whole world stopped! I thought that all my years of experience were based on a lie! What else did I learn that has been wrong all these years??I'm kidding but I still needed to be sure. You might try to think of sda today to mean SATA drives OR SCSI drives. I only mention this because my son was reading with me and asked "Dad, what's scuzzy?". I tried explaining it to him. He's never seen a SCSI drive in his life! I then asked him if he knows what a Sata drive was and he blurted out the answer in 2 seconds, and got it right too!I told him to look at sda like any internal sata drive he's used or a SCSI drive, if he should ever work with one 😂.Just a suggestion to the author that you might want to expand your definition of sda for your younger readers.The book was nice and concise, just like I like them.

    Waste of time
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2021*

This book will probably teach you what you need to know about the Linux operating system as a beginner (if you already understand the basics of Linux--but then you wouldn't be a "beginner", would you?).  The explanations rely on the reader already being familiar with the terminology and general processes; no explanation of these "beginner" matters is offered.  Anywhere.  In a book titled "Linux for Beginners".  That makes it rather difficult to write a review.The problem is not "command line fear": the problem is the near-total lack of usable documentation/training FOR THE BEGINNER on how to set up and use Linux.  The book was authored by an "expert programmer with over 20 years of experience in the software industry".  Like many programmers, Mr. Clark seems to have the expectation that everyone will have the same programming background.  He's seemingly forgotten (or perhaps never believed) that most people who use computers are using them as a tool to accomplish other purposes.This book might be useful to a professional, or a hobbyist.  As a beginner, "Linux for Beginners" was a complete waste of time (including 15 hours spent trying to get Debian downloaded/installed/usable).The author had several questions for the reader, and asked for reviews.  The review is above, questions are answered below.1) what were my expectations for when I bought this guide?  As a beginner, I wanted usable information to set up a Linux-based system for my own use, including explanations of the various terms thrown about in discussions of Linux.2) Did the book live up to them?  I think the review makes clear that it didn't.3) What would you change?  Actually providing the information the cover suggests is contained would be nice but is probably too much to ask for.  Inclusion of an index would be of great value in making the book useful.  A glossary of terms used, developed with a beginner in mind, would be invaluable.  (Spending hour after hour trying to find definitions online that fit the context of the text was. . . frustrating.)  Perhaps you could substitute "Second-year Programming Students" for "Beginners" in the title?

    I think I understand Linux now.
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2019*

I consider myself a fiddler when it comes to programming. I know a little to get me by, but I often have to go back and look things up, which is why Nathan's series of books has been such a great tool for me. They always have an easy-to-use Table of Contents, and the book is parsed out in very simple language with lots of definitions and explanations. It doesn't jump around a lot.This well-organized book covers the history and setting up Linux as well as terminals, commands, and getting help. I have been a fan of this series for years now, and I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to pick up software coding.
