About this listen
If you want to learn how to use Linux, but don't know where to start, listen on.
Knowing where to start when learning a new skill can be a challenge, especially when the topic seems so vast. There can be so much information available that you can't even decide where to start. Or worse, you start down the path of learning and quickly discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you with more questions than answers.
Linux for Beginners doesn't make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux. You need no prior knowledge to benefit from this audiobook. You will be guided step by step using a logical and systematic approach. As new concepts, commands, or jargon are encountered, they are explained in plain language, making it easy for anyone to understand.
Here is what you will learn by listening to Linux for Beginners:
- How to get access to a Linux server if you don't already
- What a Linux distribution is and which one to choose
- What software is needed to connect to Linux from Mac and Windows computers
- What SSH is and how to use it, including creating and using SSH keys
- The file system layout of Linux systems and where to find programs, configurations, and documentation
- The basic Linux commands you'll use most often
- Creating, renaming, moving, and deleting directories
- Listing, reading, creating, editing, copying, and deleting files
- Exactly how permissions work and how to decipher the most cryptic Linux permissions with ease
- How to use the nano, vi, and emacs editors
- Two methods to search for files and directories

Part of getting the CompTIA Network + certification is passing the N10-007 exam, which some of those who’ve done the exam say is the hardest exam they’ve ever done! With a minimum pass mark of 77 percent, you cannot afford to not prepare adequately if you truly want to pass the exam. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to attempt the exam several times – some even end up giving up before they could pass! The exam is so tough that rumor (unconfirmed) has it that about 30 percent of those enrolling for the exam get the pass mark!

Story
Learn Linux Quickly takes you from your very first terminal keystrokes to writing full programs in Bash, the most popular Linux shell (or command line). Along the way, you'll learn the timeless skills handed down by generations of experienced, mouse-shunning gurus: file navigation, environment configuration, command chaining, pattern matching, and more. In addition to that practical knowledge, we reveal the philosophy behind these tools and the rich heritage that your desktop Linux machine has inherited from Unix mainframes of yore.

It's challenging to assess and understand how to learn a new skill, mainly when the subject appears vast. There can be so much data available that it is difficult to know where to begin. Even worse, you start learning and soon find there are so many definitions, commands, and complexities not clarified. This book is helpful even if you have never used Linux before but want to master it.

Great audiobook if you immerse yourself in Linux
I used Solaris/IRIX in the 90's and I use Git Bash today. The parts of this book that "clicked" covered areas I've used before -- vi, ls, chmod. The parts outside of my experience motivated me to purchase the Kindle version of this book as a companion reference.
I appreciate the brevity of the book. Even as an audiobook, it still makes clear what one can do with Linux. I just need to cement that understanding with deliberate practice.

Surprised that text based subject sounded so good!
it's been close to 10 years since I've worked on Linux systems. I listened to Linux for beginners as a refresher for the LFCS exam. narration was clear and concise. although there was some times when the commands got quite complex to listen to it was surprising how well you could absorb the audio

It served its purpose.
If you could sum up Linux for Beginners in three words, what would they be?
organized,clear,concise
Would you ever listen to anything by Jason Cannon again?
Yes.
What does Brian E. Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The problem is that I don't think I would have read the book. That is why audiobooks are so important. They allow the undisciplined to use the otherwise unproductive time in the car to pick up a new skill. I didn't believe it was possible to create an effective audiobook on this topic, but it was done
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This is not a book for the big screen.

2nd Reading on Audible
12:19:24 Monday the 30th on January 2023
It was a good read, it is only 4 hours so he just covered the main points, I like the fact that since I know a bit more about Linux I understood a couple of the commands he was sharing.
