[LUG] 10 Gnu/Linux books for beginners

 

Looking through my local library(s) in Paignton and Torquay, I find it very frustrating that there are so few books on Gnu/Linux available. When you can find one (or possibly two) they are either way out of date or aimed at Sys Admins / "higher end" users or specific services ("Wordpress", "Samba" etc). Looking at my own library of books I can't really find any books that fall into the starter / beginner category either, and being as I learn Unix over 20 years ago, and then migrated to Linux, my library is totally inappropriate for beginners.

So today I'm challenging the group to recommend 10 GNU/Linux books that are current and in publication that are targeted at beginners and their needs.

Looking forward to your suggestions.


Tom.
