Linux Books

Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've searched for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

** Note: I have noticed that my previous Fedora 9 guide has been copied by many other sites without a single reference to the original site, which was the disapointing part. Furthermore it has been translated to other languages again without a reference. So, if someone is interested on translating the following guide to another language I would be glad to host it here. Just contact me through Contact Us .

** Note: If you are unfamiliar with Linux console or if you want to learn more about Linux commands you can take a look at my Basic Linux Commands guide.

** Note: The text editor I've been using in this guide is GNOME's default, gedit. If you are using KDE you may use kate. Of course the terminal based text editor, nano, is always a nice choice for a terminal based editor!

** Note: Because of the many sites that are direct linking to my guide I face heavy traffic. If you wish to help me pay for the hosting and bandwidth you can make a donate. Thank you!
