all fluffy
this book was a complete waste of my money. i am an experienced programmer with the microsoft platforms and i have run dozens of servers in a webfarm. i bought this book to help me add a redhat server to my home network. i wanted to set it up to run PHP on apache with mySQL. anyway my NIC card was not autodetected and i needed to get the drivers as source code and compile them. this is pretty standard fare for a linux setup. anyway the book does not even touch this subject. if you know next to nothing about PC's maybe this book could help you out. but i dont think the majority of linux users would fall into that category. so far the only benefit of this book is that it came with the 3 cd's of the redhat 9 distro, but i obviously scored those myself from their FTP site already. anyone want to buy a nearly mint copy of this book? :)

RedHat 9 For Dummies
Nearly a 1000 pages and mostly fluff! If you're trying to set up a home network with Windows and Linux computers, this is not the book for you. His examples have gaping holes, with no explanations for things that might go wrong! He assumes that everything will work the first time. Anybody who ever works with computers knows about that!

Great Reference Title
I'm new to the linux world, and I've found this quite an accessible book as a reference to Red Hat 9. I found this book is quite easy to understand, and it does cover a great deal of material in some depth. I can highly recommend it.
