1) Paperback Book Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible by Wiley. The book is good. It is well written and easy to follow. Using this book I was able to reclaim a partition on my laptop. I then reformatted the partition and installed fedora core 3 on my laptop with the dvd that came with the book. Every thing is working fine except my wireless card which does not seem to have a driver. But I followed the instruction in the book on how to obtain the driver and get it worked but I have not done it yet. Overall, the information in the book was very helpful and I do recommend the book.¤

2) Paperback Book Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible by Wiley. I like the book as well as most of his other Linux books. Its very detailed and does not assume you are a guru. At the same time he does not talk down to the reader.
I would recommend to anyone building a system with Fedora Linux and needs to tweek it to there own requirements.¤

3) Paperback Book Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible by Wiley. Kudos to Mr. Negus for another great book! I have his book on RH7.2 and thought that it was a great. When I decided to move to Fedora this was the book I thought would be best. Another great guide to the OS.

My only issue with it, and most of Linux disto books, is the focus on installation and initial configuration. I wish they would include more content on actually using the system. Give me more on applications and tools. In his credit though, the author does far better than most in this area. There is actually some good stuff on what is packaged with FC2 and some suggestions for other applications.

Just a word about FC2. Out of the box there is little support for playing MP3 files. Mr. Negus does point you in the right direction to download the codecs but you will have to get them before you can play anything in this format. If this is something that you are interested in doing check out the chapters on multimedia. Same is true with DVDs but I haven´t worked with those yet.

Great book, especially if you have never used Linux before. It will get you started but you will have to look elsewhere to move past the basics.

4) Paperback Book Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible by Wiley. It is a good book and it really helped me a lot with my intro to linux¤

5) Paperback Book Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible by Wiley. I find it strange to say that an eleven hundred page (plus) book is really only an introductory book. Unfortunately that´s the truth. What you get here is a bunch of stuff. For one thing, you get the operating system itself. And while you can download the coftware free, you´d better be prepared for a pretty long wait, at 56K about a hundred hours for the four 650 MB image disks.

I say "introductory" because there are so many subsidiary packages included in the basic Linux distribution and these can be treated only superficially. For instance MySQL gets about 35 pages. This is enough to get the software up and running, and a little bit about the SQL language. But you´re not going to be a power SQL programmer after just 35 pages, you´ve only touched the surface. And of course each other big area (Apache Web Server, Mail Server, LDAP and a whole lot of other sets of initials) has it´s own set of books to expand on what´s here.

But you´ve got to start somewhere, and here´s a good place. Mr. Negus is a far better writer than many in the computer business. He´s written this as a way to get started in moving to the Linux world. And at this he does a supurb job.¤
