First Step in Linux Learning
The title of this book doesn't quite accurately reflect what is in it. The author certainly goes into a lot more than simply the Linux OS command line. He starts rudimentary definitions and considerations, like defining what an operating system is and why you might want to use Linux at home or professionally. He even gives the history of Linux shells. I’m enough of a nerd that I found the history sections fascinating. The book is clear and written in an easy-to-understand style. It is basic, clearly for beginners and not for anyone with more advanced knowledge in Linux. If you know nothing about Linux but need or want to, this book could be a first good step.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

A nonsensical take on an easy subject: maybe you are not an "Admin" if you don't know even the beginner parts of the command line, when most tools have a CLI, but only a few have a GUI.
