Customer Reviews & Comments
Although Maddog's book is good for the beginner who wishes to install Linux and at least get X running, it's not something that an experienced computer user would want to read. The writer often gets side tracked on to other subjects when discussing certain aspects of the O.S. In his attempt at humor, he often falls short with unlaughable examples of how bad the rest of the PC industry is. There are many points in the book where Jon writes, "This is beyond the scope of this book," whenever he gets onto something that is good. Also, it seems to me that "Red Hat Linux For Dummies" is nothing more than a shameless plug at other For Dummies books. I noted well over twenty references to other IDG prints.
