After the success of our RHCSA / RHCE and LFCS / LFCE certification books, we are now happy to present “Learn Linux In One Week”.
This ebook will walk you through the beginnings of Linux and the contributions of Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman to performing secure file transfers over a network. You’ll learn how to manage users and groups, and to write shell scripts to help automate system administration tasks.
Have little or no experience with Linux? That is not a problem at all. We will provide you with 1 ready-to-go Linux virtual machine that you can use to get started.
On top of it, every chapter comes with exercises to apply what you have learned in that chapter, and we also provide solutions to those exercises.
And believe us, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I like the book on Linux learning…
Hi,
Thank you, Ravi, I have received the ebook..so I’m trying it but to download the virtual machine (.ovf file) we must have the key to decrypt and I have not this public decrypt key, thank you to send it to me. Well I m not totally new to Linux and I have an installed VirtualBox that is running, but I love to do it as I was a newbie to test the book.
So I think that totally newbie can’t install himself a VM as explain in the book because this newbie doesn’t know about Bash command lines and he can’t understand the complexity of vboxdrv etc.. building a piece for the kernel, etc .. maybe the solution if you want to keep this approach, was to make a packaging flatpak or other.
Best regards and sorry for my bad English. Maybe I use google translate the next time…
@Jean,
Actually, the cloud provider deleted the decrypt key file, I don’t have one right now. The VM is a simple CentOS machine, you can use any CentOS VM to practice the examples in the given book…
Hi Ravi, that’s exactly what I have done today thanks have a good day/night.
Please send me a sample chapter.
@Sharad,
Sent you a sample chapter as requested…
Many thanks
I am 84 years old and I want to learn Linux, I have some money but I don’t have a bank account. PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO SEND MONEY TO YOU FOR YOUR BOOK.
@John,
It is really great to know that you want to learn at this age. NO need to pay, sending you a book for FREE…:)
Hey, Ravi,
Kindly share the book with me. I’m a student and I want to learn Linux but I don’t have that much amount of money. I request you to share this book with me in my email id.
Whonix, which heavily relies on VirtualBox (actually two simultaneous instances of VirtualBox containers) is making efforts to change to KVM.
I think Tecmint should also make efforts to adjust this ebook to use either KVM or QEMU or other alternatives to VirtualBox. This may not be a trivial change, but there is no reason that alternatives to VirtualBox shouldn’t be presented alongside instructions as they are now. Thank You.
Hello,
Can you please send me a sample chapter to get the feel of the book?
thank you
@Wahab,
Sent you a sample preview of the book…
Please I also need copies. Kindly spare me some
Hi,
I downloaded the e-book and am currently at the chapter of downloading the virtual machine.
The link provided in the book does not work as there seems to be a decryption key, which I don’t know if I missed out or it is not available in the book.
I have found a replacement link online, but I just want to point out that this link is not working.
Cheers
@BC,
Actually, Dropbox deleted our Virtual Machines without any notice. Could you share the replacement link you found online?
