Customer comments on this selection.
Great product The book is very good, it was detailed with exactly what I was looking for. this will be a very good book to have for reference in the future. Money well spent.
Awesome This book is truly awesome. I knew next to nothing about linux and after having the book for 2 weeks I have built a server ready to control the network for a small business.
Lots of pages, but no meat for a systems administrator I originally bought this book as a sytems administrator's reference. I was disappointed by the lack of depth provided on most topics, and the poor job done indexing.
For example, I ran into an issue where I needed some refresher information on the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I found a single page of basic descriptive information on p134 compared to the in depth information provided by an out-of-date Sam's Fedora Unleashed (Ball and Duff).
I only recommend this book as an orientation to those newly learning Linux/RedHat/Fedora. The book does do a good job of providing links and references of where to obtain further information on many topics.
A worthwhile Fedora upgrade I bought this book mainly to get the next upgrade of Fedora along with useful documentation. The book is enormous and contains much information that was useful to me along with much more information that was of no interest to me, but may have been interesting to someone else. In other words the book is like an encyclopedia.
an up to date book a good up to date book on linux but author devotes to much time and space and chapters covering servers which the ordinary desktop user wont use.
