    Ordered this with a RPi as I am new to the OS and the OS type. This book does have useful information it but did much to frustrate me. It does not have basic information that somebody new would need and the information that it does have is hard to find when you want to refresh you memory. I started with CP/M and MS DOS so am no stranger to a command line, just need to know the commands. But not in this book.
