  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;The Most Useful Linux Tutorial and Reference Ever, with Hundreds of High-Quality Examples Covering Every Linux Distribution!&lt;/B&gt;To be truly productive with Linux, you need to thoroughly master the shells and the command line. Until now, you had to buy two books to gain that mastery: a tutorial on fundamental Linux concepts and techniques, plus a separate reference. Worse, most Linux references offer little more than prettied-up &lt;I&gt;man&lt;/I&gt; pages. &lt;I&gt;Now, there's a far better solution.&lt;/I&gt; Renowned Linux expert Mark Sobell has brought together comprehensive, insightful guidance on the tools system administrators, developers, and power users need most, and an outstanding day-to-day reference, both in the same book.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This book is 100 percent distribution and release agnostic: You can use it on any Linux system, now and for years to come. What's more, it's packed with &lt;I&gt;hundreds&lt;/I&gt; of high-quality examples: better examples than you-ll find in any other Linux guidebook. This is Linux from the ground up: the clearest explanations and most useful knowledge about everything from filesystems to shells, editors to utilities, and programming tools to regular expressions. And when you need instant answers, you-ll constantly turn to Sobell's comprehensive command reference section-organized and tabbed for easy, fast access!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Don't settle for &lt;I&gt;yesterday-s&lt;/I&gt; Linux guidebook. Get the one book that meets today's challenges-and tomorrow-s!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;A Practical Guide to Linux- Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is the most useful, most comprehensive Linux tutorial and reference you can find. It's the only book to deliver&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Better, more realistic examples covering tasks you-ll actually need to perform&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Deeper insight, based on Sobell's immense knowledge of every Linux nook and cranny&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;More practical explanations of more than eighty core utilities, from &lt;B&gt;aspell&lt;/B&gt; to &lt;B&gt;xargs&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Techniques for implementing secure communications using &lt;B&gt;ssh&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;scp&lt;/B&gt;-plus dozens of tips for making your system more secure&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;A superior introduction to the Linux programming environment, including &lt;B&gt;make&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;gcc&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;gdb&lt;/B&gt;, CVS, and much more&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Expert guidance on basic and advanced shell programming using &lt;B&gt;bash&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;tcsh&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Tips and tricks for customizing the shell and using it interactively from the command line&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Thorough guides to &lt;B&gt;vim&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;emacs&lt;/B&gt;, designed to help you get productive fast and maximize your editing efficiency&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Dozens of exercises to help you practice and gain confidence&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Instructions for using Apt, &lt;B&gt;yum&lt;/B&gt;, and BitTorrent for keeping your system up to date automatically&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;And much more, including coverage of &lt;B&gt;gawk&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;sed&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;find&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;sort&lt;/B&gt;, &lt;B&gt;bzip2&lt;/B&gt;, and regular expressions&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;  &lt;/P&gt;  </default-description>
