This book goes over in great detail of how to use Linux. It starts off basic, and works its way up to tackle the complex commands that most people overlook due to the commands limited use or complexity. (ie, EMACS, sed, awk, etc)Since it starts off very basic, and explains how to use the basic system so that even a new computer user could start learning, you wouldn't think it also would be a great reference to the linux guru. I've been using Linux for about 5 years now, and I consider myself a Linux guru, and I DO find it very useful. The way it is organized into two parts (tutorials in one part, the lexicon which provides the lower level references, in another) allows for easy skimming for someone who just needs to look something up, or allow you to go through it and not get bored by reading a dictionary of terms and usage glossary.
