Negative Positive
Title: Written for the beginning user.
Review: This book is very basic. For someone familiar with the Windows or Mac OS, much of this book can be skimmed through. The authors assume you know how to turn on a computer, load a CD, and use a mouse, but not much else. For some users, this is perfect, though I do not know if users like this would be venturing into Linux-Land. The most important point in the first half of the book is "WRITE DOWN THE ROOT PASSWORD; DO NOT LOOSE IT". That is the Golden Rule for all UNIX based OS's. Otherwise, the book's information is good. There are a few typographic errors, but nothing major. I was hoping for something a bit more advanced, but this is the only thing I could find. One very useful tidbit is you can set the Click-N-Run to save to the local drive, which for some reason (according to the book) is not on by default. This lets you download the CNR files once, which is a blessing if you use a modem.
Is the review positive or negative?
