Review: Apart from mostly local sys-adm chores, I think most users would like some good explanation on networking services. However, a lot are missing here, like FTP service setup/adm, telnet service setup/adm. The Apache server part is quite poor, covers mostly setup. Given the book is a good size of 782 pp, I cannot understand the omission.

Review: I can't even count the number of administration manuals I usually have to look through before I find a simple answer to a problem I am having (I guess that is why I own so many computer books... no one book ever has the complete answer). Most "Guides" usually live up to their name and are simply only "guides". They lead you in the right direction but never actually ever get you to the destination and rarely offer a specific recipe for your problem. But the "Red Hat Linux Administrators guide" by Kerry Cox is different. This is one guide that makes up for a handfull of others. Just today I used it to solve a problem with NFS... and it took only moments to find the complete answer! No Shuffling and crossreferencing a half dozen books. This is a great book!

Summary: Valuable reference
Review: I have read several dozen Linux/Unix books. This is by far the best. I was required to purchase this book for a level II college class I attended (which I got a 96% average on mind you). Very well laid out. Easy to read.
