Summary: one star is generous
Comment: terrible...look at my review on
the linux journal.
My review was too generous -- should have just said:
"feh, phooey"
Customer Rating: 1
Summary: Terrible book
Comment: A complete waste of money. Bad exposition coupled with some blatant textual errors point towards a very shoddy authorship.
Customer Rating: 1
Summary: Horrible and Quite scattered
Comment: There aren't enough politically correct words to describe how awful this book was. I wasted money on books before, and this is another to add to the pile. Jim Carey (as Ace Ventura) might say "Editor's Mmmuch?"
The type-o's in the book are one thing, but the amount are strictly appaullyng (<-purpose). I couldn't recommend this book to a guru nor a beginner. It takes a spreadshot approach to a web server setup, and the postgresql setup section didn't work on RedHat platforms 6.x through 8.x .
You /will/ have an awful time with this onslaught of what more practiced authors only joke about. I think you get my drift, don't buy it. Sadly, i did.
