Complete waste of my money

I am up to page 190 and am extremely unimpressed with this book. So far it seems to be about 95% padding or waffling, 4% telling you to read the ReadMe's, HowTo's, Tutorials, Manpages, various websites (which any new Linux user has already found, and found wanting, hence buying a book), and maybe...

Detailed, thorough, and actually has a good index

Linux books tend to fall into two categories:1. How-to books for beginners2. Reference booksI am already fairly comfortable in linux, but most of my experience is with distributions that do things differently than the "Red Hat" way. When I decided to try out Fedore Core 2, I realized I would need...

Fedora leashed

This book is not for the person who wants to use Fedora as an OS. It is geared for someone who is into programming and is very complicated. It assumes you have a doctorate in Computer Science. I would never recommend anyone to buy this book. Fedora Core for dummies would be a much better bargain...

POOR AUTHOR OR PUBLISHER?

I was just amazed that some of the reviews were from Red Hat 5.2, and the Year 1999. I agree with the author, you do think twice about buying a book with inaccurate reviews?I suggest the author contact his publisher, as in most places it how much you money you have that counts. And I am sure the...

A reference book for the Linux enthusiast

This review is for Red Hat Linux and Fedora Unleashed. When I was considering purchasing this book, I had mostly come across inaccurate reviews referring to older editions that bear no relevance to this one. I am writing this review (the first one I have EVER written) in support of this...

A reference of sorts, but not a good "how to" book

I bought this because the book had the RH 5.2 CD and the liner said the book would help me install it. I was disappointed. A Linux veteran helped me get it installed, and told me the install steps were not all correct. I never got the X stuff to work. Later I could not find simple stuff like how...

bad instructions in books

I followed the instruction of this book but found I could not get any xterm works. Linux looks like another DOS on my computer. It was a waste of money. If I buy a compiler in store and follow the menu, I can install it. But this book is not help at all.

Outstanding - A quick Unix refrence and programmers guide

If you want to get ur feet wet into the world of programing this is the book for you, now when it comes down to getting your feet wet into the world of linux....you want to reconsider. But all-in-all, I thought it was a great book for linux wizards and programmers alike.

Horrible

I purchased this book-a big mistake! The book is really a reference for those who allready know Linux. Allthough, if you allready know linux why would yo buy this book? I found the intallation shaky. I found myself going to Redhat's web site and reading their instruction on my other computer...
