What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
Customer Reviews
It is written in a very direct style, so don't expect any humourous anecdotes, puns or jokes. It addresses the various areas of content in a thorough and logical fashion. The review questions at the end of each chapter are useful and the answers do a good job of explaining why the various answers are right or wrong.
Unfortunately, there seem to be some major oversights in proof-reading or formatting. There are a number of places where example code is shown (helpfully typeset in a different font) where there are missing quotation marks ("). This may not be a major issue in other literature, but it can make the difference between a command working or not in a Linux configuration file! There is often a reference to the missing quotation marks, otherwise I would have been unaware that some of them should have been there!
I can only assume that this is some kind of problem with an automatic conversion to Kindle format. However, it seems to me that this kind of basic, recurring problem doesn't do much for the reputation of Kindle as a viable publishing platform for serious textbooks. Please take care of this Sybex/Amazon!
As a guide to using Linux, it is crammed with endless syntax on how to do all basic operations in Linux from a terminal window, including changing the colour of the text and background in the terminal window itself ...
Tells you absolutely NOTHING on how to configure Linux as a server of any sort, however.
The words 'incredibly' and 'boring' could be strung together and the result would describe this book - and this approach to Linux - very well indeed.
Listmania!
