1) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. The book is very informative for Linux starters. Teaches you from where to get the right Linux software that suits your application, software installation and the Linux basics.¤

2) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. Very inexpensive. It would have been better
if it focused on one of two distributions with
more insights.¤

3) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. Linux Bible 2008 edition is very readable. The page-count
may intimidate some, but the book is well organized and
seems to provide an appropriate amount of detail. The CD
and DvD work very well for trying out various flavors of
Linux. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to explore
implementing Linux onto their computer system.

4) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. I taught from Negus´s Fedora Core 3 book for several semesters at the local Community College. I found it to be as good a publication as the one that I´m reviewing now. There is a tremendous amount of information on the topic presented in a readable fashion and should be on the desktop of anyone who needs to support Linux systems and applications.

That being said, however, it is not a text from which to teach people just learning LINUX/UNIX, because of the lack of support materials. If the Negus books provided Instructor materials for preparing and giving College level classes, there would be more sales to the educational community.¤

5) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. With all respect due to the author, I think this book shows no effort to make you interested in reading it. You try to force yourself to read but its so dead boring approach that you put down, you try again and you fail again, till you rip the book to peaces and throw it in the trash (like I did).

This book tries to answer all the questions but fails to organize the material in a form that keeps the reader interested. It made me almost give up on learning Linux until I found William Von "Ubuntu Linux Bible" which made all the difference. I recommend that one instead and recommend it very strongly.¤

6) Paperback Book Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions by Wiley. Great Content from a Bestselling Author: The Linux Bible 2008 Edition is the best first Linux book for new or migrating users. By focusing on the building-block nature of Linux, and offering true up-to-date descriptions of Linux technology, the Bible helps the reader learn how to jump headlong into Linux, regardless of the Linux distribution they choose. Descriptions of different Linux distributions helps users choose the Linux distribution that´s right for them. Detailed installation instructions, step-by-step descriptions of key desktop and server components, and the actual distributions on CD and DVD, let readers get started using Linux immediately. The Bible will serve a broad range of readers, from those starting with Linux to anyone looking to evaluate different Linux distributions. It also covers broad usage including Linux desktops, servers, and firewall/routers.

New features: Instead of just telling you about how the technology works, new "Bringing Linux In" sections describe how people have implemented Linux in the real world. New sections describe real-life examples, such as how:

• A Small office created an inexpensive Web, print, and file server
• A do-it-yourselfer combined Linux audio and video features to create a home multimedia center
• A school build a computer lab with free educational software
• A large corporation deployed thousands of Linux systems

Unique CD and DVD: No other book on the market includes so many Linux distributions on CD and DVD. Our DVD and CD will include the latest versions of at least the following Linux distributions: Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, KNOPPIX, Gentoo, Slackware, Mandriva, Damn Small Linux, SLAX, BackTrack, GeeXbox, and others.¤
