User review
What to say? It's a `For Dummies` book,,.
The review title isn't a slam - I've used `For Dummies` books for years, and have loved them all. However, I bought this one (actually 2 copies) for $3 a piece for the DVD media only. If you can score this cheap, it will work for the cost of the media. The comics are cute, and the text is good for a complete beginner,,. but if you know anything about Linux, and want `more`, find another book or online references,,.

Only Okay
This books is very much for a total beginner. If you are looking for some great book, this is not it. It deals with the basics only.

User review
DEFRAG FIRST
Very good book. The installation didn't go well at first.
Then I did a defrag and all went very well.

User review
Very different from the usual cutesy Dummies book
I was pleasant suprised, then delighted, to find that this was NOT the usual, repellently cutesy Dummies book, but a very complete, straighforward guide to SuSE Linux 10. Additionally, it's an A+ book for those who may be thinking about Linux but have been frustrated by their attempts to learn the basics and/or install one of the popular distributions unaided. Barkakati respects the reader's intelligence, but he doesn't assume too much. He starts easy and doesn't leap suddenly onto a higher level of technical complexity, as many authors of computer books do. A common complaint among those who dip a toe into Linux is that it's a technical nightmare. Barkakati does an excellent job of introducing new users to the world of the command line. As operating systems and applications have evolved, we've lost the best features of the DOS command line and text-based programs such as WordStar -- namely, power and speed. Barkakati gives the reader a gentle introduction to that `closer to the computer` world.
