2. Who should read this book?
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared
toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at
the end of each chapter. For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference,
and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network
administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's
experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. We
hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system
and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.
Everybody who wants to get a "CLUE", a Command Line User Experience,
with Linux (and UNIX in general) will find this book useful.
