Customer comments on this selection.
 I wish i could return this book for a full refund.
The os on the dvd/cd are such that you can not use the auto updater. So, you get an old out of date os that can not be updated. I paid to much for this book. I wish that I could return it for a full refund. Perhaps its worth $5 including the shipping.
 Good product for the more advanced user
This is a good teaching book for the individual who already has working knowledge of Linux. For the novice, this book is too advanced.
integration with Windows
I cannot believe it did not spend much on integration with Windows. I know it's a Linux book but let's face it, 80% of this world is occupied by Windows. How to make Linux to work with Windows is absolutely essential.
 Fedora 8
This book is a very good guide to this modern Linux distro. But I missed some better explenation about upgrade and I had a little misshap with the CD.
Covers a lot of ground
3lbs of Fedora Core 8 goodness. This is more like an end-user/junior sysadmin bible though. It covers a _LOT_ of ground -- everything from installation to configuration to deploying network services, the bible goes step by step. In some cases, the bible offers a more complete set of documentation than manuals from Red Hat.
The book doesn't delve into the nitty-gritty of Linux. For example, rolling a custom kernel is out. Probably for good reason though since most people probably won't need to do that. Things like strace or deep security concepts are best researched using other books.
RHEL5 is an after-thought in this bible. Do not buy if you are looking for lots of RHEL specific topics.
Still, for a Fedora Core end-user or someone starting out in sysadmin field, this bible will deliver the goods.
