Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐When Red Hat stopped selling their low end packaged product and turned the whole thing over to the Fedora group I was very dissappointed and felt that this part of the market was simply going to go away. Instead I’ve been plesantly surprised to see that publishers have picked up on this vacancy and produced books like this one that include the full distribution. And at a price well below what the Red Hat packaged product cost.This book is, like the title says, for dummies. Not stupid just that you don’t know about this particular subject. It’s main intent is to get you through the installation and set up of a desktop workstation. There is a bit about using Apache to set up a web server, but neither “data base” not “PHP” are even in the index.As is common with the For Dummies books, this one includes a good bit of humor. It helps me to stay awake and I like it. It’s also good to see that this book can take some the mystery oout of the Unix environment. If there’s going to be any competition for Microsoft, it has to come from books like this. Say to go publisher.

⭐If you are looking for a place to start to get into linux… first of all FC3 is outdated already. FC5 is out now. Second of all, if you are new to linux, Ubuntu linux may be an easier distro to start with. Theres a huge online support community and its very user friendly in my opinion. Since I was already used to Red Hat, some of the Ubuntu quirks were strange for me. But for a beginner, I think Ubuntu is superior.I have a few machines running FC3 already and I thought this might be a good reference book. Turns out I already knew most of the book already, and I also know where to get help online for anything else. So I shouldn’t have wasted my time.. ah well.

⭐This book is a great place for the Linux newbie to start. It’s an easy read and gives you good basic information, plus some advanced stuff (a wireless multimedia server for your home network?!)You’re expected to have a little knowledge about computers but not much. Basically the book assumes most readers use ms windows at least a little bit. Another good thing is the book gives you Fedora Core 3 on DVD. Check it out.

⭐if u newbie on Linux like my this book and red hat fedora guide is the best i see on bookstore i has the old one from this series and its help my to set my home network and install webmin .what i like in this book its give u the answer direct not more detail like other i see.and what i do not like in this book its took to more on KDE and not Gnome what its come default with fedora ! but i see on this 3rd editon its took on Gnome this great things,and the book can not help my to solve my modem problem .

⭐If books were priced by the error this book would be gold. You cannot follow the directions given in this text because of the errors. The Redhat documents on-line were much more helpful.
