Title: This book sucks
Review: If you want to know why Bill Gates is a rich geek and the authors of this book are only geeks, go ahead and buy it and try it. The installation instructions are incomplete and confusing. I ended up OVERWRITING AN ENTIRE HARD DRIVE, losing all the information! To subtitle this mess "Configuration and Installation" this is nothing short of false advertising. Shame on you guys! I don't know why the Linux and Unix people are unable to explain things clearly. I suspect that's they don't write code much better than they write English, and that's why so much software doesn't work too well. Of course, being lost-in-a-Jolt-Cola-buzz geeks, the author DO recommend that YOU GO OUT AND ASSEMBLE A SYSTEM JUST FOR LINUX! OK for the technoids, but not for the mere mortal. Some other reviewers give this book a 9, so decide for yourself if you want to risk your money. For the .5%, this may be a good book - for the rest of us 99.5% type "Linux" in the amazon.com search form and try another book.
