Best for Linux newbie or end user not admin 
I really don't think the book is geared toward Enterprise users and the word "Enterprise" should not be in the title. Was looking for a book geared for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 system admins looking for info on configuring RAID with mdadm, lvm2, and ended up with a book more geared for a desktop user more interested in games and novelties than serious system administration. For what it goes over it does a good job but I was expecting more core unix admin information and examples.
A great book for people starting out in Linux 
From networking, mysql and dns to gaming, video/audio, office tools, programming, etc. This books pretty much covers it all. etc.
Easy to read, well written, as I am from the Faroe Islands, and have no trouble what so ever reading it.
I like the "learn by example" method used throughout the book, which will have you exploring Linux Fedora on your own, in the minimal amount of time.
Also, the entire Linux Fedora 4 OS is bundled with this book, as 2xCD and 1 DVD. This, combined with the book, is all you need to get started in the world of Linux.
5 stars from me!

Very good book... Dont hold you breathe for the DVD to work
. I bought the book about two weeks ago and found it to be extreamly helpful.. note the dvd with fedora 4 core is DEAD and CD2 is corupt No biggie if you have a high-speed connection you can get a copy at linux. org .
