Summary: Warning -- not for dummies
Review: Want to understand how a Linux system works? Want to understand the considerations in the care and feeding of a Linux system? Want to see how it all comes together underneath the covers? Then buy this book.Finally, a book on Linux system administration that does not start with explaining command prompts, the vi and emacs editors, and more mind-numbing descriptions of common utilities like ls. I wished that there would be a chapter on the setup and administration of X, KDE and GNOME, but alas, the authors did not deem it necessary. The "Dummies Unleashed in 21 days" crowd will find this book too full of serious material for their liking. And horror of horrors, they will find that there is no CD at the back of the book with a Linux distribution. For the others, this is a delightful book that treats you like an intelligent person. Worth the money you spend.

Summary: Good Book with exceptionally bad index
Review: Yes, the book is not bad... But the index at the end is so bad, basically think that the book has no index if you plan to buy it. That's like everything in linux: it seems great but just impossible to use. :-)
