4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for setup/newbie. No help in maintaining/upgrading.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Hat Linux 6 Fast & Easy (Paperback)
It does just use the Gnome XWindow system. It's good as long as you don't have a "bleeding edge" computer (it doesn't tell you where to get help for newer components). Goes over the basic install and running programs in Gnome (basic programs like spreadsheets, calendar, calculator, etc.). No info. on setting up web server, ftp server, cron jobs, etc, but it does not advertise itself as that. It does its job.

This review is from: Red Hat Linux 6 Fast & Easy (Paperback)
This a great book for the new Linux person. Where else are you going to get very simple practical information about using Gnome on Linux. Who cares if the "purist don't like this book". There is a real need for this type of book and I was happy to discover a jewel like this. If you are new to Linux this is a good book at a good price.

Should be called "GNOME for Red Hat Linux 6 fast & easy",
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Hat Linux 6 Fast & Easy (Paperback)
This book is not about Red Hat Linux 6. It is about Gnome! Gnome is a GUI that comes with Red Hat 6. Gnome looks like Windows 95 but is more like Win 3.1 as it is just a shell to the operating system. If you know the basics about GUI interfaces like any of the Windows products then you do not need this book. I was expecting more about command line information. This book is like buying a book called Microsoft Dos 6 and getting the manual for Microsoft Windows 3.1. If you are looking for a book about Gnome and do not know anything about other GUIs then this book is for you.
