Customer comments on this selection.
 good to start and know about flavors - I recommend
A very good start on Linux allows a general understanding of diverse options distributions. Well written. Thanks.
 Linux Bible 2008
The book is very informative for Linux starters. Teaches you from where to get the right Linux software that suits your application, software installation and the Linux basics.
Inexpensive
Very inexpensive. It would have been better
if it focused on one of two distributions with
more insights.
Very readable
Linux Bible 2008 edition is very readable. The page-count
may intimidate some, but the book is well organized and
seems to provide an appropriate amount of detail. The CD
and DvD work very well for trying out various flavors of
Linux. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to explore
implementing Linux onto their computer system.

Latest Negus Linux text
I taught from Negus's Fedora Core 3 book for several semesters at the local Community College. I found it to be as good a publication as the one that I'm reviewing now. There is a tremendous amount of information on the topic presented in a readable fashion and should be on the desktop of anyone who needs to support Linux systems and applications.
That being said, however, it is not a text from which to teach people just learning LINUX/UNIX, because of the lack of support materials. If the Negus books provided Instructor materials for preparing and giving College level classes, there would be more sales to the educational community.
