Ramesh Natarajan is giving out free copies of his ebook, Linux 101 Hacks (the password linuxrocks starts the download). Though it targets a more experienced audience than the Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference download Sam covered last month, it looks like a handy reference for those common command line tasks that arise every so often -- but not often enough that you completely recall how to do them.
Linux 101 Hacks can best be described as a study guide for beginning systems administrators ( Linux 101 ). It focuses entirely on terminal use -- from using the command line to manage system processes, search and sort files, and make remote connections to using common text-based utilities (such as fdisk).
Jack Wallen wrote a great article over at Tech Republic outlining 10 things you need to consider when choosing a Linux distribution. He says though fundamentally the same, the various distros are not created equal and it behooves users to take a look at some key issues when deciding what flavor of Linux is right for them.
Among his recommendations, Wallen suggests that users should decide if their preferred distro meets their needs in terms of security, hardware, and the community support it offers. He makes great points, and there are more.
