3.0 out of 5 stars Good information, very poorly edited, November 6, 2001

This review is from: Sair Linux and GNU Certification(r) Level II, Apache and Web Servers (Paperback)

If you've had very little experience with Apache web servers, you may have some trouble following the book. If you feel pretty confident administrating Apache then you might find the information pretty useful in preparing for the exam. Overall, the information is good but this book is terribly edited, if edited at all. I've noticed subheadings presented before the relevant paragraphs began, incorrect spacing when presenting directory names and commands, a few misspellings and a rather scattered train of thought. It is very apparent that several authors were involved but the editors should have done a much better job bring things together.

My recommendation would be to find someone to borrow this from or check it out of a library. I don't find it useful as a reference, it's simply a study guide for the exam.
