Hi HN! I just finished the first 5 chapters of my new book, "Linux for Hobbyists"!

I'd love your feedback on the book. For the small price of your e-mail address that I promise not to spam, you can read these chapters:

Very neat :) I've built some small projects using a Raspberry Pi, so always looking forward to learning more. PS, I just put in my email.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy, really appreciate any comments on making the book better.

pretty cool, but i really don't think these chapters are elaborate enough for true beginners.

slightly offtopic: what is the recommended book for a more indepth look of how linux/unix works?

thebiglebrewski5• 11 years ago

Thank you for the honest feedback! Wondering if you could provide more information on why you think that? Should I go into a lot more depth on a specific topic? Do I need to break down the shell commands with more detail?

Regarding your second question - I'm not too sure of a good book and my book isn't really meant for that as I'm sure you've guessed.

"a Raspberry Pi web scraper to control my apartment with my voice" - Huh..?

This is just one of the projects I've built with the help of Linux. See http://alexaho.me for more info!

Is it supposed to say "web server" instead of "web scraper"?
