Mastering Red Hat Linux 6

Order (or just read more about) Mastering Red Hat Linux 6- Arman Danesh

I generally don't like any book that has "Mastering" in its title. That usually means fluff or worse, and certainly almost never presents anything that would really lead to mastery of a subject.

This book is not the exception, but it is nonetheless very good, so I'll forgive the title just this once. It concentrates specifically on Red Hat 6, which makes it much more useful than the typical Linux guide that flops all over the place trying to cover everything on the market. And while nothing short of years of experience ever lets you "master" anything, this really is an excellent starting point. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone starting out with Red Hat. The technical balance is good; it's not fluff and the level of explanation is, I think, mostly quite appropriate.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission.

These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
