Review title: Good for Cocktail party bluffing ! Dangerous in reality !
Product review: At the start of the book the author does actually mention Party talk, but intimates the book will take you deeper if you want, I am afraid it fails badly, and is far too shallow for real world use, it provides just enough info to get you into real trouble, but no mention of the critical word troubleshooting. Linux is a constant state of troubleshooting,this book is only suitable for a casual Desktop user, useless for a real world sys admin, I don't know what the other reviewers saw in it, howerver it was the 5 star ratings that attracted me - more fool me ! the book relies heavily on Craig Hunts book Linux 24/7, which again is a poorly written and confusing attempt to explain a Linux server setup.
