Great Book on Fedora Core 3

Fedora Linux 3 Bible scores

I like the book as well as most of his other Linux books. Its very detailed and does not assume you are a guru. At the same time he does not talk down to the reader.I would recommend to anyone building a system with Fedora Linux and needs to tweek it to there own requirements.

Worth the money for getting you started

Kudos to Mr. Negus for another great book! I have his book on RH7.2 and thought that it was a great. When I decided to move to Fedora this was the book I thought would be best. Another great guide to the OS.My only issue with it, and most of Linux disto books, is the focus on installation and...

A Good Start on Moving to Linux

I find it strange to say that an eleven hundred page (plus) book is really only an introductory book. Unfortunately that's the truth. What you get here is a bunch of stuff. For one thing, you get the operating system itself. And while you can download the coftware free, you'd better be prepared...

Excellent starting point

Negus' series of Red Hat/Fedora Bibles are, in my humble opinion, the best and possibly only place to start ***for an outstanding overview of what Linux can do.*** You may need specialized books to flesh out a specific need: an apache book, a sendmail book, mySQL, whatever. Then again, there's a...

Great book for the latest Linux software

When software doesn't work in Linux, everyone (who cares to) can see the code, debug the problem, and help get it fixed. A reviewer of this book described how a particular Fedora 2 install failed. Following up on how the problem was fixed illustrates the open source software model at its best.The...
