awesome book5
best book for linux ppl who want to learn a lot more about whats behind the gui.

Over a Newbies head3
I like this book, but I think it's too much for a Linux Newbie to understand. If you plan on really getting into Linux and learing the ins and outs, then this book is for you. If your looking for a way to migrate away from windows and moving on to Linux, buy another book. There are plenty of good books out there dedicated to new users of Linux...this book isn't one of them
