Inexpensive July 25, 2008
Very inexpensive. It would have been better
if it focused on one of two distributions with
more insights.
Very readable July 9, 2008
Linux Bible 2008 edition is very readable. The page-count
may intimidate some, but the book is well organized and
seems to provide an appropriate amount of detail. The CD
and DvD work very well for trying out various flavors of
Linux. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to explore
implementing Linux onto their computer system.

Latest Negus Linux text June 16, 2008
I taught from Negus's Fedora Core 3 book for several semesters at the local Community College. I found it to be as good a publication as the one that I'm reviewing now. There is a tremendous amount of information on the topic presented in a readable fashion and should be on the desktop of anyone who needs to support Linux systems and applications.
That being said, however, it is not a text from which to teach people just learning LINUX/UNIX, because of the lack of support materials. If the Negus books provided Instructor materials for preparing and giving College level classes, there would be more sales to the educational community.
 No style June 2, 2008

With all respect due to the author, I think this book shows no effort to make you interested in reading it. You try to force yourself to read but its so dead boring approach that you put down, you try again and you fail again, till you rip the book to peaces and throw it in the trash (like I did).
This book tries to answer all the questions but fails to organize the material in a form that keeps the reader interested. It made me almost give up on learning Linux until I found William Von "Ubuntu Linux Bible" which made all the difference. I recommend that one instead and recommend it very strongly.

With Linux, you will learn somehow different than Windows world.
I'm working with windows, as many of us, but I'm do really "love" GNU/Linux, it is free, the community is real and active, Enjoy Linux.
Nicolas.
