Foundations of CentOS Linux [Paperback]

Chivas Sicam (Author), Ryan Baclit (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1430219645 | ISBN-13: 978-1430219644 | Publication Date: November 19, 2009 | Edition: 1

This will be the book introducing CentOS servers and how to add and manage Fedora clients, with which it shares a common core. Fedora being easier to use, it will lead users and admins to professional levels of competence in using CentOS. It does not aim specifically at RHEL, but follows the RHEL curriculum closely enough to be able to be used as a RHCE exam preparation text.

• Covers a wide variety of system administration tasks
• Concrete examples from experienced CentOS and Red Hat admins
• RHCE is a major exam for Linux admins; this book covers the same material.

This review is from: Foundations of CentOS Linux (Paperback)

I would recommend this book one of the few that are not too simplistic
Many great examples without being too verbose
Matches well to RHCE Curriculum too.

Excellent book!
