This book gives some good breakdown to coding and processor instructions. The included CD is an antiquated version of Ubuntu which is very out dated and has security issues in itself. I am an IT pro, I have been using Linux since RedHat version 1 and I am a user of it daily in my professional and personal life.
The CD is so outdated that it will not load on any of my newer machines outside of a VM… inside the VM it has issues as well with the network and monitor resolutions… very much a P.I.A.
I have not made it past the first couple chapters… difficult to follow exactly what is being said / demonstrated and what I should really be looking for. Some of the demonstrations commands are for different versions of the OS so it is difficult to apply them to a new version of Linux (Ubuntu).
Furthermore: I wish that the book or the website would list what programs I need to load in a new distro so I can use my existing desktops. Instead I am going one by one and will install what is needed when it is needed. But it would be nice to have them listed so I am sure to be fluid in my learning.
