Linux books and other guide recommendations

  • Linux Foundation offers a free course through edx, Introduction to Linux (LFS101)

  • @alchemix online book recommendation.

    • As you are working through the book online or the class, you might like to visit the unofficial Bash FAQ or one of the GNU manuals.
  • Most programs and/or desktops have a home site with documentation and maybe some tutorials, as do distributions.

  • Learn to use the man command.

A problem with the more generalized books for linux is that they are specific to a distribution, the material is quickly outdated, and most of it is online already.
