Summary: Like a bible alright
Comment: The title "Bible" fits appropriate it talks about a whole bunch of stuff but always half way with many meanings, leaving you wanting for more, if you want a real good Linux book get Sybex press Linux servers 24X7, thats a good book.

Summary: A great reference manual, but it shouldn't be your only book
Comment: When I decide to learn something new, I like to have two books: One, a step-by-step concise guide that just has me doing neat stuff, and two, a big reference manual. I like the O'Reilly book Learning Red Hat Linux as a guide to tell me what to learn next and giving basic instructions. But, when I needed more clarity on a topic, Red Hat Linux 7 Bible gave me lots of in-depth information. The index is well organized, and has info on pretty much anything I'd want. I have only one major complaint: neither book mentioned above gives info on troubleshooting.I found the message board on Linuxnewbie.org to be a fantastic aid in that. I would recommend ordering Red Hat 7.1, as 7.0 (which comes with the book) is very buggy. 6.2, which comes with the O'Reilly book, is reliable, but doesn't work with many of the drivers on new computers, such as my Dell Dimension 8100. To sum it up, this book is a fabulous reference manual, providing TONS of info on each topic. However, if you're looking for an overview that just has you doing interesting things right away, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Summary: Good book that continues
Comment: This book is a great starter book for those learning Linux and those of us that know enough to be dangerous. The book is easy to understand. The best part is it continues to be written! With access to the book online, you will find the whole book with additional chapters and articles. This makes it easy to look up information when you are away from the book. I can leave the book at home, and look up info from work. There are several subjects that could be expanded upon or are not mentioned, but who knows, it may become available online.
