Rating:  - I did another review, thought I was reviewing a book not OS
7.2 is a great improvement over the previous. As I write this review, Red Hat Linux is up to version 9. I didn't discover any problems with this version, and the updates and patches available with up2date just keep comming, even though I hadn't discovered the problems that were fixed.
Linux is for those who either want to do the same thing all the time and are able to get their version of linux to do that, and those who like to tinker with the guts of the OS. I think Windows XP is a ... Read More
Rating: - I was a bit disappointed
I am not a linux guru. I installed Red Hat Linux on one of my machines to learn linux and purchased this book to help me along the way.

Rating:  - OK for a Workstation
No problem getting this up and running as a "workstation". No more of a chore than any flavor of Windows I've ever tried. But my reason for buying Red Hat Linux is to use it as a server OS. Over two weeks into attempting to integrate my Linux server into a Windows client environment and still not being successful at it makes me think there HAS to be a better way.
