HI 2) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. I am a beginner to the world of UNIX and Linux, so I decided to buy a book on Red Hat w/ the required software since I had heard so much about this particular distribution. The first two chapters of the book are great, especially in the amount of detail the author provides for installing Red Hat. However, the book goes down hill from there. I feel that it does not sufficiently cover significant parts of the GNOME and KDE Desktop environments and I find my self thinking "Huh?", many times throughout the chapters that follow. Like I said in the title though, the CDs have got some great stuff on them. The book is worth buying just becuase of the Red Hat software on them. If you bought the equivalent software in the store, it would be a little spendy. So basically, buy the book for the instructions on installation and the actual OS, but then toss the book and go find something of better quality.¤ 3) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. Nicely organized by topic, this book is great for Linux newbies. Includes the full RH7.1 installation CDs, book + CDs are half the price of the RH Deluxe Workstation (and with more printed docs). If you´re not a Linux beginner, look for a sysadmin book instead.¤ 4) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. I have several books on linux and this is the one I pick up the most to help with linux. I has a good explanation of squid, tripwire, and tiger. Keep in mind that if you can not spell like one of the other reviewers, this book will not help you.¤ 5) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. Leaves much to be disired. This book is supposed to cover Redhat 7.1 and yet they have screenshots from 5.x or 6.x. They don´t go over any of the new GUI tools (apaceconf, bindconf, etc. I want to see a book that covers what it is supposed to, and not recycle a bunch of old info and put it in a new book. Very disapointed... :(¤ 6) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. Whether you´re a Linux newbie looking for goof-proof installation tips or a Red Hat veteran who wants the scoop on the latest networking, desktop, and server enhancements, this authoritative guide delivers all the information you need to make the most of Red Hat Linux 7.1. From customizing a desktop system to troubleshooting a network or setting up a Web server, it´s the only reference you´ll ever need to become a Red Hat Linux pro. Inside, you´ll find complete coverage of Red Hat Linux 7) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible by John Wiley & Sons. The most popular commercial distribution of Linux is bound to attract the largest number of neophyte users, unfamiliar with the conventions of Linux but eager to push the highly capable operating system to the extent of its capabilities. Red Hat Linux 7.1 Bible: Unlimited Edition is a great choice for these users because it documents the latest Red Hat Linux release more or less fully--superhackers and software developers will of course want even more--but does so in a reader-friendly way that´s easy to approach. You can use the work of author Christopher Negus as a guided tour of features you want to learn how to use (he explains how, for example, to automate the running of programs with cron and init), or you can use it as a reference (one table, for example, lists all legal security options for Samba). Though some pages are taken up with notes about games and other stuff for which people don´t typically buy books, this volume is remarkably free of padding. The inclusion of Red Hat Linux 7.1 on three companion CD-ROMs adds to the book´s value. Though you´ll want more if you intend to use Linux as a platform for really heavy-duty server work or programming, this book will very likely answer most of your questions if you want to configure the operating system as a workstation or a straightforward server for home or small-office use. --David Wall Topics covered: Red Hat Linux 7.1 for use as a personal workstation or a server with uncomplicated configuration requirements. Installation and configuration of users, devices, and software comes first, followed by discussion of local area network (LAN) configuration. Matters of setting up Linux as server for files, printers, mail messages, and other standard services fill about half this book.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
