Reader ReviewsI have been attempting redhat since release 6.1 have never come across a good reference manual, bought over 6 books,today finally someone has taken the initiative to write a well documented manual, anything that you can think of is pretty much covered in the book, I best like the guidance on how to setup redhat to perform according to certain situations, the writer simply puts it across in english. +980 pages of information, the book was so simple to read I managed to complete it in 2 days. Alot of other boks simply point to online references this book is what you require, you will be referring to it on daily basis, I think the best approach is to read the whole book first then go through it once again step by step chapter by chapter. The most important aspects of securing the server the network setups, mysql apache and sendmail all covered as well as non bias information to other 3rd party applications the writer simply puts across his point of view and lets you decide from the option paths yo want to take. Kudus to the writer simply the best buy.
