Reader Reviews
This is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to negotiate Fedora. The book is very direct, pragmatic, and well written. The author speaks clearly and has the material organized in a manner such that it can be applied directly and understood easily. I have been working on the CompTIA Linux+ exam, and this book has taken me 'to the next level' in terms of understanding what is going on and how to apply it. An absolute beginner to computers would be best to look for something more basic. A beginner to Linux may take a bit of time to absorb the material. I'm convinced there's something in here for anyone who is into the Linux OS.
