Rating: - 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...
