Title: Understanding the Linux Kernel (2nd Edition) Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati Rating: 5/5  As the title suggests, the author explains conceptsin the linux operating system by using C code. You need to be able to read C code inorder to understandthe material in the book. It can get a bit tiring after a while considering thatthe author really wants YOU to know LINUX. The effort is worth it!

Title: Agile Software Development with SCRUM Publisher: Prentice Hall Authors: Ken Schwaber, Mike Beedle Rating: 3/5  ...the book itself isn't really that great. SCRUM has some very interesting ideas about managing a software project, but the book is just OK. I seem to remember him saying that "it was done quickly, just in time for a conference" on his blog at one point. However, if you're going to try some SCRUM, you'll want to read this. Additionally, you'll need this book if you're going to read his other SCRUM book (Agile Project Management w/ SCRUM) from Microsoft Press, because you'll want the background from this book for that one. One thing that is not covered in this book is how you get management approval when you have a "process by not having a process," or how SCRUM might scale to more that 7-11 people (other than a SCRUM of SCRUMs.)

Title: Linux Administration Handbook Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent R. Hein Rating: 5/5 Just got this book and opened it to the security chapter with the purple, Unix System Admin Handbook opened to the same chapter. The new Linux Admin Handbook follows the exact same, time-tested layout as the Unix book. Fans will feel right at home. However, it has lots of new info for Linux users. This is a great overview of the useful and important things you need to know. If you are new to Linux, I recommend this be your second book. Your first book should teach you how to install Linux and get your system up and running with an overview of all the basics. My two favorite things about this book is that it is very easy to read compared to other tech books and it gives you what you need very quickly without diving into a ?rabbit hole? of impractical information. Thank you Evi, Garth and Trent.
