Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Resource
This is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to negotiate Fedora. The book is very direct, pragmatic, and well written. The author speaks clearly and has the material organized in a manner such that it can be applied directly and understood easily. I have been working on the CompTIA Linux+ exam, and this book has taken me 'to the next level' in terms of understanding what is going on and how to apply it. An absolute beginner to computers would be best to look for something more basic. A beginner to Linux may take a bit of time to absorb the material. I'm convinced there's something in here for anyone who is into the Linux OS.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mastering Fedora Core 5
This book is great! I covers alot of things I need to understand & know. I know basic linux commands & when work wanted to implement a fedora core 5 server I knew I had some work to do. There are many things that this book has shown me that I am able to do more than just find, grep, and ps commands that this book has taught me do actually use! A definate MUST buy for anyone useing core 5 applications (and you are not a master already)
