Not a bad book, but it’s not for beginners…. but it’s not for longtime users, either.

This book is good for those who have a Linux distro up-and-running (‘Ubuntu’, or ‘Mint’ perhaps), are comfortable using it, and wish to experiment with setting up some additional services using the command line and working with configuration files.

If you’ve got more experience, then this simply rehashes what you’ve already learned – even if you don’t consider yourself an ‘expert’.

If you fall into the ‘wanting to learn more but don’t know where to start’ category, then this is a great book. Think of it as ‘Middle-School’ or ‘Jr. High’ for Linux. Not quite a primer, but not for power-users either. This is a 4-or-5 star book for you.

If you fall to either side of that spectrum, then knock-off a star or two.
