I have Redhat Linux 7.2 Bible

HI I have Redhat Linux 7.2 BibleI have buy 5 Copies of this Book.The Book is perfectBut the 3 rd CD containing the Help is not working at all of all 5 CDs so anybody Help me Thanks

Good Intro to Linux

Nicely organized by topic, this book is great for Linux newbies.Includes the full RH7.1 installation CDs, book + CDs are half the price of the RH Deluxe Workstation (and with more printed docs).However, you won't get RH installation support or the "Powertools" with this book (you can get Staroffice, etc. free over the net if you have a fast connection.) If you're not a Linux beginner, look for a sysadmin book instead.

Best of all the Linux books I have.

I have several books on linux and this is the one I pick up the most to help with linux. I has a good explanation of squid, tripwire, and tiger. Keep in mind that if you can not spell like one of the other reviewers, this book will not help you.

Better Book

I have gone through many Linux books I like this by far the best. Has lots of helpful sections. A good book for newbies

A Great Book For Evereone

I will admit, I am pretty new to the whole Linux world, but I have read a lot of books on this OS and have been running Red Hat 7.1 for about 2 months now. In my oppinion, most books on Red Hat pretty much suck. They are for the beginner or the advanced user. I have bought this book, and I must admit that so far it is the best book on Red Hat that I have read (This is now my 5th book on Linux). It is set up for the beginner, in so much as how to install the OS (And I have to say goes into a lot more detail than most) all the way through useing, maintaining, networking, upgrading and (most important) useing the OS. Another thing about this book that I liked is that it is one of the only books out at this time that talks about the 7.1 release. All of my other books have been based on the 7.0 release. It can be a little dry reading at times but this is generally due to a lack of intrest on my part to the subject being discussed at that moment in the book. My opinion... If you only get one book on Red Hat Linux, get this one, it's all you will need to get you up and running and keep you there.
