--Security-Forums, 8/10 score (Full review)

"Stutz's Linux Cookbook has waxed since 2000, when the first edition appeared. It's doubled in size from 402 to over 800 pages. But there's a lot more useful stuff here. Well worth getting."
--;login: December 2004

"The Linux Cookbook is yet another good title from No Starch that deserves space on just about any Linux desktop user's shelf."
--Linux World editor Steve Suehring's Web Notebook

"Unlike the first edition, this covers a lot more basic material. Don't let that turn you off if you have outgrown the beginner books - unless you are expert at everything, you'll find helpful material here. There are pointers to esoteric utilities you probably have never heard of mixed in with the "getting started" stuff."
