It has every Linux command and an explanation of how to use them. It also shows all the arguments you can add to each command to get more out of them. Plus it also goes into detail on how to use the Shells; the more complex editors like vi, Emacs, and ex; and also explain some of the commands to compile programs. I have an earlier edition of this book, but I think the latest version covers RPM and others. It's one of the most handy books to have on your desk. I recommend getting it and going into the Shell and learning how to get around in there. It's worth learning and most of the commands make logical sense so you can retain the knowledge. I'm sure others on this list would agree about getting this book.
