This book is intended for any individual who wants to learn how to use Linux as a server or desktop machine in their environment. Whether you are a developer, fledgling system administrator, or tech lover with no previous Linux administration background, you will be able to start your journey in Linux using CentOS 7 with the help of this book.
Even though this book is written for novice Linux users, a seasoned Linux user will also have something to take away from each chapter.

Some of the key features of this book are as follows:
- No previous Linux environment experience is required prior to reading this book
- Readers will become comfortable with a popular and stable Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution
- Concise content, with a thorough coverage of important utilities
The book is written in such a manner that any computer user with basic familiarity with operating systems can start using it. The only prerequisite is to have some decent hardware on which you can install CentOS 7 and practice the commands covered.
