What are the good books about Linux?

**joliett89** · 11-13-2011 08:00 AM

For beginners... I just installed Centos 6 and want to learn Linux in general, but in the end have a "small", text based (no GUI) server (PHP, MySQL etc...).

I looked at "Linux all-in-one for dummies" and "Practical guide to Linux, 2nd edition", but none of them seem to be easy to read.

There are books out there on difficult topics that are easy to read and some on topic that are easy that are hard to go through if you know what I mean...

Thanks in advance for any info.

Sed and Awk, by Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins is a complete book on Linux command line.

I would advance diving beeline in, after a argument book, and just searching up the band-aid to any botheration you run into. There are aswell websites that are array of like books but they tend to get out of date. Linux is a affective ambition so books are array of harder to accumulate up to date.
