Finally, a "readable" book on linux!

This book garners 5 stars from me because it covers all of the basic topics that a home user would ever face. Unlike other dollar-per-pound books on Linux, this book was actually done by a skilled communitor who has written books before. The fact that it has a section on programming and another on networking was a real plus. As usual, the "Dummies" series are actually quite good. I highly recommend this book over the individual "Red Hat Linux X for Dummies" since it goes in depth on a number of topics. What really sold me was the whole section in the book devoted to the kernel. This kind of information is essential to those of us who modify our systems to any great extent. I hope you like it, too!
