Summary: Best new user book available
Comment: If you are a patient new or intermediate user this book is for you. If you are an advanced user you don't need an overview text of Red Hat and if you aren't patient get a good book on bowling.
This book covers an amazing amount of material in a format that is very newbie friendly. The author assumes that you know nothing about Linux that wasn't stated somewhere in a previous chapter - something hard to find in any computer book.
From install to configuring various servers in one book - quite a task. The only negative I could see in this book was the author's coverage leaned towards the graphical applications and utilities and so was a little light on coverage of command line environment.
I found some of the more critical reviews unfair. Some bashed the book for being too basic while others claimed it was over their heads. This book is not for everyone. Seasoned users will find this material too shallow in its coverage - this book is not for them. Many new users will find Linux frustrating - THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF LINUX! - this OS is not for everyone.
I found the Red Hat manuals online were also a good backup reference to this book. At some point users will outgrow this book and have to look elsewhere for more indepth coverage kinda like when you finally took the training wheels off your bicycle.

Summary: THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR 'RED HAT' APOSTLES
Comment: With improved topics that include KD3 and GNOME2, this well-balanced text is a respectable one-stop shop for followers of 'Red Hat Linux 8 Operating System'. The layout of this book is fantastic. Every aspect of the software (including installation and configuration) received generous attention. The overall outlook of the book (and its attached CD-ROM) indicates that a beginner can handle it; although that I would recommend it for an intermediate or advanced user of the software. Most beginners may be weighed down by its extensive details.
