Red Hat Linux Fedora 3 Unleashed Review by E. Iverson
Great book! for starting fires with...
I'll start by saying I'm not a linux guru by any means. I've played around with Red Hat, starting with 7, then 9, and now FC3. I also have used Debian a bit. Further, a long time ago in a city far, far away, I used Solaris exclusively when I was in college.
That being said, this book reads like VCR instructions. In olde english. Upside down.
I installed Fedora BEFORE I bought the book, and had an OK-running system. I got the book to start doing more with it -- set up Samba, Sendmail, DNS, etc. I would have been better just reading the FAQ's online. This book has no flow, no good examples, and makes even the easiest tasks difficult (at best) or just plain rediculous (at worst). Get a different book.
If my review hasn't dissuaded you, then I'll give you my copy. Anything to get this thing off my shelf.
