Summary: Do not trust this book.
Review: I've read many Linux administration books, and consider myself a mid to senior level Linux administrator. This book has some serious problems. I'd be suprised if there weren't several other authors aside from the ones listed, because the book seems to be contradictory at times, and cobbled together.Most of the networking instructions are correct, and the file listings are generally all right, but the configuration instructions do not always lead to the results they're trying to achive, or do not match the output they show. I'd suggest a non RedHat specific book for Linux administration know how anyway - you'll get a more broad understanding of the issues without locking yourself into the way one particular distribution does things.

Summary: A comprehensive Red Hat Linux book
Review: If you are using, or thinking about using Red Hat Linux, you should buy this book. I found this book to be very useful for nearly everything I wanted to do on my system. Following the examples in the book I was able to configure Apache, Samba, NFS and anything I needed to use the system on my network. I highly recommend this book to Red Hat Linux users.

Summary: Best reference if you don't know
Review: it is really good to start Linux with this ONE book, as it covers every aspect of Linux. But if you want to dig deeper and find more helpful info, maybe you need to buy other books.

Summary: Well done - a bit outdated in 2003
Review: It's a great book with very thorough descriptions of things that other books (e.g. RH 8 unleashed) gloss over or don't cover at all - NIS as an example. Doesn't just tell you the commands to use like some ceritifcation books but explains how things are structured from the ground up. It's getting a little outdated although fundamentally it's still ok.

Summary: virus on the cd
Review: The book is terrific but I found a virus on the CD. I notified Mr. Kabir but it is the publisher's responsibility and they did not provide an email address for complaints. virus is the Unix PSite virus and it is in the VetesCan-8-9-200.tar.gz file. Buyer beware!

Summary: Many many typos
Review: These books were clearly not proofread before publication. Typos in a book for a command line operating system are a definite no-no.

Summary: BEST advanced Linux SysAdmin book! (per large Co.)
Review: This book is THE ONE to buy, for advanced RedHat SA's!
Very complete and in-depth coverage of the more-important topics.
And to "prove" this, the Sr. Linux admins at a large Co. have selected this as the ONE book all the SA's should refer to.
(Also the companion security book)

Summary: No Good
Review: This book is watered down and contains typographical errors. Some errors are 1 sentence apart and contradictory. This book is not for an administrator, but rather for someone who wants an error prone introduction to RedHat. -Ryan

Summary: Very good book
Review: Very good book with lots of information, but sometimes the author gets carried away with his so-called version of MAN pages. If you need more detail on some stuff, you will need to reference some other book or check online. The book did have some errors and wrong diagrams, just wished someone have proof read it better....
