What Readers Are Saying
After being stuck at help desk for 5 years, I wanted to learn more skills to progress in my career. I stumbled upon Shell Samurai on its initial release. It covered the basics and explained the Linux filesystem for anyone, including n00b like myself, to navigate and execute the power that Linux can provide. The knowledge obtained in this book helped me shine above the other candidates in the interview process. This is an excellent book for beginners to intermediate users and would highly recommend it for those willing to learn.
