The "Essential Linux Commands" book is more than just a compilation of useful Linux commands; it also offers instructions on setting up a Linux environment for anyone to test these commands. I thoroughly enjoyed that the author provided "scenarios" demonstrating when a command could be useful. For a future edition, it would be nice if they provided a cheatsheet/one-pager with all commands; otherwise, it’s an excellent reference book.

This book covers server installations, disk management, file permissions, and network security. It provides practical steps for setting up a CentOS server, explains commands like fdisk, chmod, mount, cat, grep, top, and iptables, and explores cloud integration with AWS. Having personally followed the book's instructions to set up a CentOS server and use various commands, I found the hands-on exercises immensely valuable. While it offers clear explanations and practical examples, making it an excellent resource for system administrators, developers, IT professionals, students, and Linux enthusiasts, its content is more suited for beginners and may lack depth for advanced users seeking more comprehensive techniques. The book is structured to build foundational knowledge, ensuring that readers can manage Linux systems effectively and confidently.

Exactly as my headline says, this book is a true reference guide, perfect to be on the side of your desk to check syntax at any time, or really learn new commands quickly.
