Explains all the basic concepts needed to understand the use of the Linux system. Provides practical examples for every command, plus hundreds of invaluable tips and warnings. For intermediate to advanced users.
Flipping through Hawkins's book is like browsing a thesaurus. How many ways can you compare files? diff comes right to mind, but did you know about comm, cmp, diff3, or sdiff for merging diff'ed files? The know-how-return-on-time-investment for browsing the Linux Desk Reference is one of the highest in the Linux library ... for up to five-minute periods.

Not without humor, Hawkins begins his array with a list of man-like utilities. So what are they? Try to guess: apropos, whatis, whereis, info (of emacs fame), and locate, and their associated functions. The lines blur between true POSIX-compliant Unix functions, shell capabilities, and individual applications. You wouldn't have info if you didn't have emacs, which you probably wouldn't have if you didn't have Linux, or you didn't install it yourself. For users of non-open-source versions of Unix (Solaris, Irix, HPUX, etc.), the name-the-synonym game is still playable, but the fun ends sooner.
