4.0 out of 5 stars Could be good - Might be dated, July 3, 2001

By	T. S. Schulze (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are downloading older versions of SuSE Linux, this might be good, but SuSE Linux is at SuSE Linux 7.2 now (3 JUL 01), so you might want to look for something newer.

3.0 out of 5 stars A timeless and well-written book, July 1, 2002

By	Merrifield Winters (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This book is based on SuSE 6.3 which was one of the greatest editions of this distro ever made. It is unique as a computer book because it is extremely intelligent and at the same time well-writen. I always turn to this book when I need basic help with SuSE type questions. If you want to stay up-to-date, though, there are newer books that are better (i.e. "Linux the advanced reference" or the documentation that comes with every SuSE boxed set).
