When I need to look up how to do something, the answer is easily found. Being able to read it on the Kindle app for my Android phone in our server room is priceless! ### ⭐⭐ An overview of the very basics of Linux for novice (Linux) users. *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2015* A disappointing book. A pity, because the title was very promising, instead. The preface literally states this book is intended for somewhat experienced computer users who want to know more about Linux. I find this misleading or, at least, somewhat tricky. Many people would probably interpret the above sentence as if they were holding in their hands something for Linux users that want to get to the next level. That was also my guess. It is, instead, a collection of very basic tips for new Linux users.There isn't really much to say about Linux Utilities Cookbook. It covers basic things such as copying and removing directories or compressing files. The most advanced topics are probably those teaching the reader how to do the same from one machine to another, through scp.When I was reading the third chapter, with a rather perplexed face already, I was thinking within myself... James has over 30 years of experience in the industry. This book... is he keeping all the good tricks for himself?This says it all.A final note: I think that the best part of Linux Utilities Cookbook is Appendix A, where the author groups some best practices.I do not really suggest the title, unless the reader is absolutely new to the penguin.Suggested book(s):Linux Shell Scripting CookbookAs usual, you can find more reviews on my personal blog: books.lostinmalloc.com Feel free to pass by and share your thoughts! ### ⭐⭐ Misses the mark *by A***B on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014* I have used Linux at home as my primary OS for the last 10 years or so, having tried just about all of the mainstream distributions; I also use it regularly for my job. I would not call this book what I am used to when it comes to the average technical "cookbook". It is more like an basic guide to Linux, for someone who has never used it before. Unfortunately, it feels more like a collection of quickly cobbled together notes, and misses the mark in a number of areas.The books does not flow well in its coverage, and will leave a beginning Linux user with far more questions than it answers. How you can explore bash and Linux commands without mentioning case sensitivity? An unnecessarily convoluted procedure is given for having a new user set their password, after root has already created the account. There are also a number of typographical errors which should have been caught during proofreading.If you want to get up and running quickly with Linux, there are better guides to be found.Note: I received a review copy of this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/98010044-linux-utilities-cookbook-paperback-october-25-2013](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/98010044-linux-utilities-cookbook-paperback-october-25-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
