Reader Reviews
Really very helpful and full of great info. I must recommend this book. I already owned the Red Hat 9 Linux Bible and in a way for recycling me in the new Fedora 8 OS think it's a must. For all users, from the newbie to the professional user that ever find new tips & tricks in this book.
