Foreword

When I began tinkering with Linux and Fedora years ago, I needed more than a month to get my bearings. I didn’t have a resource like this book by Steven Ovadia. Steve guides readers through Linux basics in a clear, systematic way, demystifying it for new users (and teaching experienced ones a thing or two as well). The book is thorough while remaining concise. It’s clear, but never oversimplified. And it really stresses what makes open source such a powerful force. Linux isn’t just for seasoned system administrators. It’s for everyone. And Steve’s book reminds us of that.
