Here is what I liked most about this book, I understood everything it was telling me to do. That is the bottom line, that is really all that matters. I had a need (I want to learn the command line better), and this book, section by section, chapter by chapter; fulfilled it. So how did this book help me accomplish my goal? I believe the author used words that are common in an everyday conversation, … more

I love to travel when I can, but I spent the last five years in complete poverty so I didn't get the chance. Staying positive though, I'm a bit better off now and am planning a trip to someplace I haven't been. The problem is that travel can be so expensive, and that cheap ways of doing it are only known to insiders. But I love going to new places and being overwhelmed by something I had, until then, … more

Simply put, I am … more
