 Great product
This is the book you need if you run Open SUSE.It isnt a hard book to understand even if you are fairly new to Linux.Gives enough detail to get you up and running and using Opensuse.
 Excellent Book
This book covers it all...from installation to tweaking your Linux installation. Great price at Amazon.
Good for people who can put 2+2 not if you want step by step
I teach Linux at a local community college. I needed a good book that would teach my students some command line and some GUI in Linux. This was the only book that really came close.
No this book does not say click here, then click here, now type this, and hit next on trouble shooting. You really can't do that with a computer book because things changes with patches and software installs.
What this book is good at is telling you what tools are available and then letting you use them. The first few chapters cover the install(which I have now installed SUSE 11 on 10 totally different machines and they have all had the same outcome, flawless), software management, and command line all at the same time.
This book is a step up to previous books I have taught with the either focus on GUI or CLI not both. This helps when I have to explain to my students why command line is so powerful and GUI is just for nubes.
 Good Introduction - Light on How-Tos
This is a good book if you know almost nothing about Linux or the seven layers of the OSI model and other basic concepts. But if you want to know anything specific about configuring Linux services or the global-type sevices that this release of Opensuse supports (NFS, Samba, etc.) this book will not help very much.
After using the CD as an install medium, I spent most of my time looking for answers on-line, not in the book.
Not Quite Ready for Primetime
For as thick, which alludes to a complete manual, that this book is, it is not as complete as it could be. It lacks a troubleshooting section; at least a section of the most likely problems the neophyte might run into with the possible solutions. The average person who picks this book up will probably be new to Linux distributions. Nevertheless he will be anxious to learn all that he can before diving into the OSS pool, so it would be very helpful if this book would make that one of its objectives. In this case, I wonder how useful the section on the "server" would be.
