1) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. I´m not sure if this is common of the "Unleashed" series or not, but I still use this book for most of my Linux problems. I always seem to be able to find the answer and the index is the most complete of all the books I´ve bought since -- not sure if that´s saying too much since I´ve been so frustrated with ALL the other Linux books I´ve bought since. Maybe I just find the bad ones.

If you haven´t had some "command-line" experience, then I´m not certain this book may be for you. Most things are described via command-line interfaces with some desciptions of companion gui apps.

For what´s worth, I´m (still) runnning RedHat 7.2 and this is still my best reference. The only other reference I usually use is the man pages and an occasional HOWTO. Not sure that´s bad or good, so take it as you will. :o)¤

2) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. As a system administrator I was looking for an alternative to Windows OS so Redhat was the first system I trialled. Unleashed was the first textbook I bought as a guide. I must be thick. I can configure tcp/ip, proxy servers, Windows servers and a variety of other things but using this book as a guide, I got nothing working on Redhat. Half of my system config.s in the book would not work and I found no support docmentation in the book to help. The whole book and process was so off-putting that I would rather spend my time plugging holes in Windows servers than spend hours trying to get a simple 3COM 3c509B working. Newbies-keep clear of this one. Me?-I´m sticking to Mac.s and Windows.¤

3) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. We have the obligatory five-foot bookshelf of Linux how-to texts, and this one is used more than all the others combined. It is not perfect, but it comes closer than does anything else which we´ve used.

The book is described as intended for a user level of Intermediate-Advanced. Don´t believe it: this book has been the salvation of our most dangerous neophytes on many occasions. Doubtless, the advanced types will also value it, albeit without as many of the "Wow, it worked!" exclamations.¤

4) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. This book is not for a beginner. It does not provide examples, and the layout is hard as hell to follow. Worst of all, some of the information in this book is out-right wrong! (such as the commands that doesn´t work where the book insist that it would!)¤

5) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. Not worth buying if you are a novice. Get some first hand UNIX/Linux experience before you buy it.

Again, if you are an administrator dont buy it as there will rarely be a time when this book will find way from your shelf to your hands.

Written in a ramshackled way and some typos too.

Buy this book if you want to know about the flexibilities and features of Red Hat.¤

6) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed shows you how to install, configure, and manage version 6.0, the latest version of Red Hat operating system. Version 6.0 boasts the latest Linux kernel, a new and improved installation program, updated libraries and a host of other improvements. Learn how the operating system works from the inside out. The book covers everything from managing the installation processes to configuring the system as an Internet server. Extensive coverage of shells and shell programming is also covered, along with the programming tools and utilities that help the administrator and programmer perform their tasks more efficiently.¤

7) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by SAMS PUBLISHING. Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed ships with its eponymous operating system on CD-ROM. Based on that fact alone, you´re ahead of the game in terms of cost when you buy this book. Way ahead, in fact, considering that this book contains some of the best printed documentation of the Red Hat distribution around. The team of authors covers installation, configuration, networking (including Internet connectivity and the Domain Name Service), system administration, and applications. There are introductory guides to programming with several languages--the sections on gawk, Python, Motif, and Tcl/Tk are the best of the group. Plus, there´s a good Linux command reference.

Three kinds of people will like this book: those who want to install Linux for the first time, those who want to perform intermediate-level tasks (such as compiling a kernel or setting up a network), and experts looking for new information. The book´s coverage of first-time installation takes a deliberate pace, pausing often to address potential problems. The kernel-building and network configuration sections are solid. The remainder of the book is packed with enough details about everything, including the Gnome windowing system and the K Desktop Environment (KDE), to keep the gurus happy. In short, this book ranks among the best Red Hat 6 manuals. --David Wall¤
