Sams Teach Yourself Red Hat(R) Fedora(TM) 4 Linux All in One Review by Mr. Gregory R. Ede
Rushed out the door without proofreading
This book simply wasn't adequately proofread before Sams rushed it out the door. I found four errors in the first chapter alone. Not earth shattering ones, but quite annoying. If you're already experienced with Linux there's no reason to buy this book, if you're experienced only with Windows you'll spot the errors quickly enough but the number of them in Chapter 1 doesn't auger well for the accuracy of the rest of the book.
Regardless of your level of Linux and/or Windows experience I'd strongly suggest *Red Hat Enterprise Linux & Fedora* by Bill McCarty, published by O'Reilly, as an alternative. The only advantage that Hsiao's book has is that a more up to date Fedora Core 4 CD is included, and (for the Windows and Linux newbie) a slower paced introduction with more baby talk.
