Summary: Fedora = Red Hat Linux 10
Comment: Sometimes an author is at the mercy of those controlling the content he writes about.
Red Hat Inc. developed a great Red Hat Linux 10 operating system, then at the last minute changed its name to Fedora Core 1. If you liked Red Hat Linux 9, you will like the full Fedora Core 1 that comes on 3 CDs in the "Red Hat Linux Bible: Fedora and Enterprise Edition" even better. It is richer in features and even more solid than RHL 9.
While I think Red Hat Inc. did a great job building Fedora Core 1, so far they have done a mediocre job, at best, of marketing it. They even left the word "Linux" out of its name. For those reasons, inside this book, I sort through:
* How Fedora Core came about
* The differences between Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
* When you would choose Fedora Core or RHEL
Otherwise, this book is just an improved edition of my Red Hat Linux Bible (that comes after RHL 9 Bible). It still steps you through how to install, use, administer, and build servers in most any Red Hat Linux distribution you choose.
I pulled in two friends to update the sections on security and shell scripting. I added sections on RAID and yum. (Check out some yum respositories to find free, high-quality add-on software.) All the projects we built for our "Linux Toys" book for RHL9 run on Fedora Core 1 without modification.
The foundation for this book is the Red Hat Linux 8 Bible (just voted the "Best Linux Book" by readers of LinuxWorld Magazine) and computer best-selling Red Hat Linux 9 Bible. While I usually leave marketing to marketing people, I just felt that these words just weren't getting out: Fedora Core is the best free Linux available today and this book is a great way to get it and learn it (in my humble opinion).
