This book was decent. With all of the new LINUX OSes coming out, this book was too old. This book was very vague. But if a 14 year old can do it YOU CAN ALSO

I’m sorry but this book stunk terribly. I would not recommend it for anyone. It obviously shows the author has no idea what Linux is.

Mainly, for those who already have linux up and running, you get some information on some of the different programs and utilities available for linux, but it wasn’t as complete as I would like it to be.

I have been using Linux since the mid 80′s. I even give lectures at College about Linux. I have a large amount of books on Linux; but this is by far the best of these. Whenever I need to do something difficult with Linux, this is the first (and usually the only) book in which I look for the solution. It is not perfect; but it is the best you’ll get.

I have mixed feelings about this publication. I have Red Linux 5.1 installed on my system, so much of the material outlined in the book was relevant to the questions I had about installation set-up and configuration. However, the book seemed to be missing detailed information on internet access configuration. The book had a couple of chapters dedicated to the topic but after following the text I could not get Linux to dial-up my ISP. So if the examples in the book don’t work for your particular situation, you are out of luck.
