Summary: Truly not for "beginners"
Comment: Look inside this book, it is chock full of complex computer jargon. Poorly organized book.

Summary: Filled With Errors
Comment: I have a copy of this book sitting on my shelf, left over from a previous sys admin. Every once in a while I pick it up and leaf through it until I find a mistake. It never takes more than 90 seconds. Today I found on page 124 the claim that one can use "kill -TERM" instead of "kill -9" if one prefers letters to numbers. An author who would make this mistake (-TERM is -15, -9 is -KILL) does not inspire confidence.

Summary: The title's a little inaccurate...
Comment: While this book does cover the software mentioned in its title, it spends a lot of time with the Apache 1.3 series. In fact, Apache 2.0 was still in beta when the book was published so the author seems a little apprehensive with the material.

It is nice as a general overview, and contains a lot of good "filler" such as an appendix on common Unix commands and Unix text editors.

Summary: very badly written and badly organized
Comment: You be better off reading the man file on apache. The author uses inserts from the configuration file of Apache and does not build on it as if the inserts are sufficient explanation for configuring the program. I am insulted. If you still want to buy this book I have mine for sale in the used section for the fraction of the original cost. This book is a waist of time and money.

Summary: Too much in too little space
Comment: I am a systems administrator trying to set up Apache running on a network.
I have been trying hard to cope with this book for simple installation and configuration procedures but in vain.After desperate efforts, i picked up the kate wrightson book and i got everything set up in a snap (actually 3 days of fruitful reading).Thumbs down to the Professional Apache 2.0 book for
trying to cover too much in too little space.
