Reader Reviews
I am an MIS student at an internship, and had a need to learn RHEL 4 quickly. I love the Dummies books, but personally, I found this one to be a little too remedial. In my opinion, it focused too much on the GUI interface. I thought this was the knowledge I wanted when I purchased the book, but the GUI only gets you so far. Many things that need to be done in RHEL 4, and Linux in general, require you to know how to operate the terminal. I was hesitant to use the terminal at first, because I was unfamiliar with it. I had help from another colleague at another location. He is a Linux guru, and I learned much from him. This book is good for a person who wants to run RHEL as a desktop, but lacks the advise to properly set up a server. I also found the book did not explain the logic and reason behind the various terminal commands it taught. I believe it is extremely important to understand why you type in various commands such as, "ls -lah". I purchased another book after I read this one, and found it much better.
