of this quickly.

They need Spring Into Linux. Written in the unique Spring Into style, this

book is organized as a series of one-page and two-page tutorials. Written for

professionals who don't need a lot of hand-holding, the information is quite

dense. Each tutorial contains at least one example of the concept or procedure
