“I have found this book to be a very useful classroom text, as well as a great Linux resource. It teaches Linux using a ground-up approach that gives students the chance to progress with their skills and grow into the Linux world. I have often pointed to this book when asked to recommend a solid Linux reference.”

This is a good book for getting up to speed on Fedora 19 however even on this, there are some gaps. As far as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), it is not a good resource. One glaring example of this the focus on Sendmail when with both Fedora and RHEL, the mail server of choice is Postfix; Red Hat doesn't even teach Sendmail in its training programs where Postfix is taught. I cannot recommend this book if your purpose is learning RHEL or preparing for the Red Hat Certification track. I also found the coverage of Virtualization very weak, kvm installation specifically, and I found the information on VMware's Player better than that on KVM; he doesn't even mention setting up VirtualBox on Fedora. Finally, he does provides some LPI pointers within the text but these are only for Linux Essentials and CompTIA; LPI is changing their certification exams and there is absolutely no mention of RHEL certification objectives. Mark Sobell is one of my favorite authors, this is the third version of this particular book I have purchased along with other Sobell books that I have and it was great to see this updated 7th edition released with the constantly changing Linux landscape featuring Fedora 19.

Mark Sobell continues to make a dense subject enjoyable to digest. He covers a vast range of topics in great detail but organizes it all in a way that it can be used as quick reference just as easily as it can be consumed in context. Real-world examples and applications are referenced throughout the book making the the smallest commands "practical" and tangible in the greater scheme. The new chapter on virtual hosting is an extra boost to those working on cloud servers, but really much/most of the material elsewhere can easily translate to remote administration. The excises are fun, the tips are helpful, and the glossary is very useful.
Fedora and Red Hat are covered extensively, but much of the core concepts in this book apply to the Linux OS as a whole and would benefit all those working in the environment.
