- Reviewed in Australia on 12 September 2024Verified PurchaseWOW I have done it again, with this bible written by a Red Hat promoter, if Red hat is so great where are all these pocket size computers that run on Red Hat? Why is there lack of hardware running Red Hat O/S as a alternative to another popular equivalent product , so I can replace my 8 year windows laptop that has multiple hardware issues, some say it should have been called a lemon pie and I give my thumbs up to that comment.
- Reviewed in Australia on 17 September 2022Verified PurchaseVery good but is looking a little dated. Early chapters are ancient with Red Hat perspective. No so much on Debian or Ubuntu and there is little reference to more modern devices such as Raspberry Pis and Arduinos or i2c interfaces and software to support. Python references are basic. GCC and C references nil.
Little reference to large scale firewall handling and extensions for file serving. Cloud additions most welcome. Nothing about gcc and c really.
Still, well worth the purchase and a good reference.
Linux chaps, we need Volume 2, advanced features.
- Reviewed in Australia on 26 September 2022Verified PurchaseI like the way the chapters are functionally laid out and covers many topics. I understand it is difficult to over them in depth in one book. This is a great reference manual for beginners and also people who have some experience with Linux. I went through the book over a few weeks, it compliments really well with my other reference book Unix and Linux Administration Handbook 5th Edition.
