Reader Reviews
First of all, I don't understand the editorial above on this book...550 pages??? If you count the index it is only 329 and won't reach near 550 even if you count the wasted paper for all the numerous sitepoint advertisements in the back! I ordered this book, it arrived just as the photo and title are shown. What I got was that sitepoint book but with a couple hundred less pages and a different ISBN number. The number shown in the book is ISBN 0957240226. As far as the book goes other than all the false information...the book is fair. It is lacking in content and skims over way too much. If you are like me and buy as many books as you can on this topic, then buy it. If you want a good book on the topic that covers enough to get your linux server up and running...deffinately find another book...this one is only good as an additional reference provided you are looking for an answer that they happened to manage to include. I would strongly advise to either wait until there are used copies available for cheap prices or find one from a publisher other than sitepoint!!
