SUSE Linux

Domain Name Com's - : SUSE Linux

- Not much beyond the basics...
I was (am) a complete noob to Suse and linux in general. I'm very experienced when it comes to OS-level stuff and computers, but I needed a good overall book to get my suse install going. Well, this wasn't the book to get. If everything works perfectly on your install, you're good to go - and you wouldn't need this book anyway! If, however, your install hiccups, then this book won't help.
Like the install section, the rest of the book is basics only. Not much in the way of troubleshooting, either.
I'm not saying it's not a good book. It may be perfect for the transition user, someone going from Win to linux and primarily interested in using desktop applications and doing simple admin tasks. Perhaps for that user segment, this is a five-star book. I wanted a bit more and for that, it doesn't deliver.
An example is during the install section. There's no info on dual-booting a machine. I don't want to speak for others, but I imagine that's a common install of linux. It's certainly what I wanted to do. No info was contained on how to do it, however. The install that is done in the book offers little in explanation of 'why' you would do things - just do them. Again, perhaps only a fault if you want something other than a vanilla single-boot machine installation.
Lastly, the book references version 10.1 and shipping version is 10.2. Some things have changed although not enough to say the book needs updating.

- Excellent How-to on getting along with openSUSE
Brown did a great job of encapsulating a lot of entry-level and intermediate knowledge into this book. Each chapter stands along but furthers along the whole, which seeks to educate the reader about the various systems in SUSE Linux. Unlike many computer books, this book will age well because the information is specific but not tied to any one particular version. So what was relevant for 10.1 is equally relevant for 10.3 and beyond.

I read this book from cover to cover and learned a lot in the process. It is approachable and well written. It is technical but good at explaining and teaching.

- Still viable through SUSE Linux 10-SP1
Chris Brown is a talented writer, able to take a complex subject and both simplify and clarify it for everyone. Chris walks the reader through SUSE Linux step-by-step, explaining virtually everything you want to do with your system with ease and speed. If you're wanting to get up and running with SUSE Linux and enjoying your system and files, then this book — even in the Summer of 2007 — is well worth the money. I look forward to his next title.

Jam packed with 400+ pages of goodness, this is a must buy for anyone that isn't a SUSE Linux guru. Even for gurus out there, this book will no doubt improve your Linux abilities and get you up and running and/or super configuring your Linux box here and now!!

If you are looking to work with SUSE Linux now or in the future, pick up this book, you'll be glad you did!!

- Perfect Book for Small Business and Home Users Only
Ever since Novell purchased SUSE Linux there has been a whirlwind of activity, press releases, and articles everywhere about what they intend to do with it and where SUSE will go from here. In this book the author guides the reader through the details of the community distribution. The focus is on the desktop user who wants to migrate to SUSE but doesn't know much about Linux. Only minimal computer literacy is assumed and the author walks you through everything from the installation through setting up email, printers, network cards, users, and anything else you might want to configure on your desktop. The section on administration is well done and explains how to do things both from the command line and graphical interfaces. Other areas covered include graphics, audio, video, burning CDs and DVDs, installing and configuring on your laptop, package management, and network services including sharing files, remote access, configuring a web server, name resolution and everything else you would need to install and configure a small business server. SUSE Linux is highly recommended to those who want to learn the basics of this system as a desktop operating system. The server portion is useful for a small business server but for a high-demand server the proprietary version is preferred and not covered in this text.
