Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fluf
Review: This book is full of fluff, yes it does have some good info in it, but it makes the reader work too hard. IMHO this book (like many other computer books) has too much flash. I want something that is more condensed.

If you are a newbie, a dumb newbie at that, get this book. If you are intelligent please for the love of god stay away from this book. While it isn't the worst 30 bucks I have ever spent, it comes close.

Summary: More info than one could ever hope for!
Review: What a bargin! This book not only gives you all the answers to things you need to know to install, set up, and effectively use XFree86, it also gives a very comprehensive history of the software and the project, which I always find useful when trying to learn about a particular subject. This book is the tops in my opinion. If you need a reference about XFree86, this is definately some of the best money you can spend toward that end.
