Bought this along with the same author's 'Linux Command Reference' to facilitate our transition from the big Em Ess to an all Linux operating environment. As former 30+ year Em Ess partners, we wanted a straightforward approach to configuring and integrating an entire Linux environment from servers to desktops. This came about because we've been personally testing Linux desktops for the past year and finally decided that the wait was over. Everything about Linux is preferable to both fruit and Em Ess. Kofler's books have almost all of the required information in one place and are easily accessible for both set-up and troubleshooting (though we've had virtually no 'troubles'). Really appreciate that this author isn't trying to hawk a particular version of Linux. We've become Debian advocates with the Debian Mint desktops at this point after our testing. Some reviewers complained about the lack of coverage for containers in this particular book. Docker is covered in a separate book by Kofler and it truly deserves its own book as a Linux only VM. On the other hand, translators like Wine, Bottles and Steam are covered elsewhere, though WinBoat is akin to Docker in that it's a VM and containerized. The Linux world constantly evolves and more recent evolution makes it incrementally easier to encapsulate Em Ess applications within the Linux environment. With few exceptions, we've found that for daily life we no longer need any Em Ess applications. Golly. Review: One the best books I've read in along time - Lots of good subjects are presented in this book and best of all is that it covers a wide variety of distributions that more recent that most. Which is really nice when you try to build a custom installation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #85,524 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) #12 in Microsoft OS Guides #21 in Linux Networking & System Administration | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 62 Reviews | ## Images ![- Linux: The Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Linux—From Installation to Security, Virtualization, and System Administration Across All Major Distributions (Rheinwerk Computing) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YQvB11kyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Linux Migrations & In-Depth Linux Knowledge *by A***A on December 27, 2025* THE Linux Bible.
