Summary: Needs to cover setting up and installing more in depth!
Comment: This book I bought to use as a guide to starting my Linux experience. So far it has given me many headaches because the book only lightly skims on most areas (Like setting up the X Windows System) and redirects you to something on the CDROM, while not telling you how to open/browse it. I had to look forward a chapter to find an example on how to open up a text editor...I wish that the book would tell me how I should do something, not just what I should do ("Open up xxx.xxx in your favorite text editor" I'm a Linux newbie, how am I supposed to know what he's talking about?!).
This book is worth the software bundle, though - Red Hat 5.2 is ok, I'm going to buy 6.0 ASAP because 5.2 doesnt support my TNT video card.

Summary: 5 stars for the right book
Comment: Dear BONEHEADS at Amazon:
I am the author of this book (Bill Ball), using my wife's account to write this review...
I want to state that Amazon is seriously misleading its customers BY POSTING INACCURATE, OUT-OF-DATE, AND WRONG REVIEWS for Red Hat Linux and Fedora Unleashed.
I WANT THIS FIXED NOW! I emailed a correction SIX WEEKS AGO in an attempt to correct this situation...
My publisher, Pearson Eductation, is apparently unable to convince Amazon to fix this problem in a timely fashion.
So, for the first month of my latest book's appearance on Amazon, it has been hobbled by a review of a title that is nearly SIX YEARS OLD!
Please, please, please, can we get this fixed????

Summary: Good Book
Comment: Being the first time I installed Linux, I had to read the chapter on how to install it twice. However, now that I have more expertise I look back and realize that the instructions are not wrong but down to the point.
I also had to read the chapter on how to get XWindows to work twice but I got it to work just fine.
This book is excellent once you have intermediate knowledge of linux.
sincerely
J.Brenes
