Negative Positive
Title: Scratches the surface. I didn't enjoy it.
Review: I think this book is suited for the person who is just getting started in the realm of computer security. This is due to the fact that there is quite a bit of non-Linux specific security tips, like physical security. The downsides to this book are many. Lots of file output and lots of resources to look up but not a lot of content. It just seemed to me like most of this book was filler and I didn't get anything out of it. This is perhaps because I have been involved with Linux and computer security in general for a few years. So, from an experienced systems administrator's point of view: everything in this book is available on the web and can be easily found. However, if you are new to Linux systems administration and security and don't know where to go, this book could be for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
