Nice intro for beginners

The book focuses on the transition from a Windows-family OS to Linux and Unix in general. It is well organized and clear, though sometimes wordy. "Mastering Red Hat Linux" is primarily oriented at beginners, but also covers some more advanced topics like installation and configuration of mail and web servers.

Great for people getting a grasp of Linux

The book is nicely organized, easy to read and clear. The installation instructions helped me from step one. I don't understand some of the other reviews, but maybe they purchased this book for other purposes. (...)

Good book. Great for begginers.

I'm a newbie in Linux so I found this book very informative and easy to read. It explains very clear the main topics about Linux and about RedHat. However, some commands are not explained so you have to look elsewhere for help (rpm, vi). If you want to know the Linux basics this is the book but if you want to master RedHat you have to buy some other complementary books and read a lot of HowTos.

Install linux watching the essetials

Nice book for the non-begginer but non-expert either. Ideal for a babtism in installaling linux. However, Redhat 7 works very well and you end up not needing much of it.

A Perfect Book for a Person with Some Experience

First, it's probably the latest book on the market, whcih means that it has an advantage over other older books. The structure of this book is very organized, and the substance well written: easy to read and explanatory, but concise. The auther always alludes to the big pictures or the key concepts behind the specific subjects so that I know where each little puzzle should fit into the big frame.
