Chapter 17: Building on the Basics
The book gives you the building blocks and directions in exploring your system. Almost every chapter can be the theme of a new book.
First you are given an overview of the system, than you are given the overview of basic commands.
Than you get the knowledge of drives, partitioning and bootloaders.
Bootloader section is dedicated to systemd and upstart init services.
Big plus is that it also gives a basic knowledge of networks and it configuration.
After I have read the book I can say that it structure is very logical, because you are moving from the hardware parts of system to the software, that ties the hardware.
Also book contains the list of bibliography.
Here is what draw my attention:
- GNU Emacs manual
- Plan 9 from Bell Labs
- UNIX for the Impatient (2nd Edition)
- The AWK Programming Language
- The inside story on shared libraries and dynamic loading
- SSH Mastery: OpenSSH, PuTTY, Tunnels, and Keys
I have to say that this book is not for novice users but for those who have some basic knowledge about the system. For novices I can recommend Running Linux, 5th Edition . Happy reading!
