Title: Superficial
Review: Wanting to familiarize myself with Linux, and looking for a way to obtain an installation copy of Red Hat 7 on CD-ROM, I purchased this book.Unfortunately, I found that this book failed be the "well-organized set of sessions" that make up a teaching guide it claims to be. The choice of topics is not exactly what you want (why spend a session on listing calendar and calculator tools), and the topics hardly provide any concrete information (unless you find the statement that "all you need is the predefined configuration files from this book's companion CD-ROMs" enough to have "learned how to use the mail server to exchange e-mail with other systems on the Internet"). It lacks depth, even for me as a first-time user.In summary, this book quickly shows many features of the Red Hat installation, but falls short of providing the insight required to get started.2 stars for providing Red Hat 7 on CD.
