Format:Paperback
If you are new to Linux then this book may be OK for you. If you wanted a detailed look under the hood of Suse 11.0 and Enterprise Server then forget it. Most of the content of this book is generic linux and *nix stuff which they could have cut and pasted from a hundred other much older books. This leaves insufficient room for the content you would expect based on the book title. If you want a "bible" for running an enterprise server based on Suse, this book is definitely a waste of your time and money. I flicked through it in ten minutes and put it aside feeling cheated. It's unlikely to ever help me do my job.
The book should have been more honestly titled "Beginning Linux with a Suse flavour" and I would then not have bought it.
ps. As a handbook for a linux newbie it is probably a good book, but the title misleadingly implies the book is something it isn't.

Good Introduction - Light on How-Tos
12 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book if you know almost nothing about Linux or the seven layers of the OSI model and other basic concepts. But if you want to know anything specific about configuring Linux services or the global-type sevices that this release of Opensuse supports (NFS, Samba, etc.) this book will not help very much.
After using the CD as an install medium, I spent most of my time looking for answers on-line, not in the book.

Good for people who can put 2+2 not if you want step by step
30 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
I teach Linux at a local community college. I needed a good book that would teach my students some command line and some GUI in Linux. This was the only book that really came close.
No this book does not say click here, then click here, now type this, and hit next on trouble shooting. You really can't do that with a computer book because things changes with patches and software installs.
What this book is good at is telling you what tools are available and then letting you use them. The first few chapters cover the install(which I have now installed SUSE 11 on 10 totally different machines and they have all had the same outcome, flawless), software management, and command line all at the same time.
This book is a step up to previous books I have taught with the either focus on GUI or CLI not both. This helps when I have to explain to my students why command line is so powerful and GUI is just for nubes.
