This book is a short guide, not a comprehensive reference. We cover important, useful aspects of Linux so you can work productively. We do not, however, present every single command and every last option (our apologies if your favorite was omitted), nor delve into detail about operating system internals. Short, sweet, and essential—that’s our motto.
We’ll cover the most important Linux commands for the average user, such as ls (list files), grep (search for text), mplayer (play audio and video files), and df (measure free disk space). We touch only briefly on graphical windowing environments like GNOME and KDE, each of which could fill a Pocket Guide by itself
Linux runs on everything these days, from things as small as watches, IoT devices (such as a Raspberry Pi, and other single board computers), smartphones, laptops, desktops, servers, network devices, and even mainframes. Linux is also used by many cloud services for management or running infrastructure, on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.
There are three versions of this book, Volume 1 which is the Bash Systems Administration edition. There is also Volume 2 which is the Bash Systems Reference edition. There is also the Ultimate Edition, which contains all the content of both Volume 1 & 2. Volume 1, the Bash Systems Administration edition is for people wanting to learn Linux (for a job interview [i.e. Linux Systems Administration or Engineer, DEVOPS, DEVSECOPS, etc.] or creating an IoT device), or have been using it for years. This book is written for everyone that wants to start learning to master the Linux OS and the Bash shell. As well as learn how to take advantage of the advanced features. This book is designed to help you get started quickly or advance your existing skills without wasting your time. Volume 2 which is the Bash Systems Reference edition, contains references to hundreds of commands, examples, tips and notes to give you additional insight on commands or topics being covered. This book also includes a comprehensive quick reference (with examples) of over 600+ Linux commands. There are also several Linux and related quick start guides included on several advanced topics, including applications, networking topics, Bash keyboard shortcuts and a great deal more.
