I am an IT Manager for a Unix/Linux infrastructure, and I have also been a Red Hat Enterprise Engineer for a number of years. I am Red Hat certified in RHEL 7 (and previous versions), but I purchase Red Hat books for reference and for the people who work for me and with me. In my honest opinion, I have to say that this is the worst book I have come across and I highly recommend not purchasing this book if you are new to Red Hat and wish to get certified.First, I have to give credit where credit is due. This author does a great job at teaching Red Hat practice and theory. We need more of this and don’t often see it modern RHEL books. Most of the literature out there teaches syntax and practical application. This author instead spends more time teaching how and why something works the way it does instead of giving you syntax and every switch out of a man page. This is fantastic and this author is both well-educated and a remarkable teacher. I would turn to this author for answers to technical questions and hold his advice in high regard no questions asked.If you put that all aside and look at the book as a student, this should be scrapped and worked from the ground-up in my professional opinion.This book is filled with numerous errors. I understand we are all human (authors included), but the number of spelling, grammatical, and structural errors are far too many to have passed a technical review. As far as Pearson Certification books go, I am very disappointed. I put a lot of trust into Pearson IT Certification books and have used them for the CCNA and CCNP coursework. However, they have let a book not ready for publishing go to print and it does not appear they had enough eyes, reviewers, or technical QA departments look it over.
