Good book for longtime linux user looking to get dirty with Fedora?

sdo · 07-14-2004, 09:12 AM

I have been using various linux distributions for a lnog time and occasionally done some administrative stuff but nothing hairy. Now I want to learn some more on the nuts-and-bolts level with Fedora like building kernels and whatnot.

I have looked a a few Fedora books and they are not good. They seem to be idiot guides with very little substance.

What I would like is a book which is complete but concise. Any suggestions?

Cheers.

Edit: I take that back about the "pro guides" there aren't any I can tell of.

You might want to read Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition and also the Unix and Internet Fundamentals linked in my sig.
They're both freely available online.

Hey thanks Chinaman, those are exactly what I had in mind. And free!!

If only I had a companion text on Fedora.....
