Summary: Lots of info, but who is this book for?
Comment: If you don't know your mouse from an iptable, I wouldn't recommend buying this book. While it is chock full of info, the majority of it seems geared to more hardcore power users. The book starts off slow and easy, but then suddenly everything is in command-land. I still find it handy as a reference, but it isn't really isn't a good book for beginner or intermediate users.

Summary: all fluffy
Comment: this book was a complete waste of my money. i am an experienced programmer with the microsoft platforms and i have run dozens of servers in a webfarm. i bought this book to help me add a redhat server to my home network. i wanted to set it up to run PHP on apache with mySQL. anyway my NIC card was not autodetected and i needed to get the drivers as source code and compile them. this is pretty standard fare for a linux setup. anyway the book does not even touch this subject. if you know next to nothing about PC's maybe this book could help you out. but i dont think the majority of linux users would fall into that category. so far the only benefit of this book is that it came with the 3 cd's of the redhat 9 distro, but i obviously scored those myself from their FTP site already. anyone want to buy a nearly mint copy of this book? :)

Summary: RedHat 9 For Dummies
Comment: Nearly a 1000 pages and mostly fluff! If you're trying to set up a home network with Windows and Linux computers, this is not the book for you. His examples have gaping holes, with no explanations for things that might go wrong! He assumes that everything will work the first time. Anybody who ever works with computers knows about that!
