The third edition of \n\u003ci\u003eHow Linux Works\u003c\/i\u003e is a good introduction to Linux that also is organized such that readers can flip through and go as far into a subject as necessary to answer questions at hand, skipping the more extensive explanations that aren't crucial for their current topic of interest. In that regard, the book is a nice reference to have on the bookshelf.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Lee Teschler, Microcontroller Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The book is very thorough--from looking down into the hardware, through delving into how the kernel functions, to covering the most important commands, file systems, swap space, boot loaders, networking and more. In fact, I'm not at all surprised that this book has survived to its 3rd edition--both because it's a genuinely good book and because Linux has gone through some serious changes in the past seven years, especially related to such things as its use of containers, the flexibility of logical volume manager and the continued move toward virtualization. . . . This is a very thorough and up-to-date book. After using Unix and then Linux for nearly 40 years, I am still getting a lot of value and significant insights from reading it.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e --Sandra Henry-Stocker, longstanding Linux journalist\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"If you've not read this book yet, you really should.
