This book covers a broad range of items from basic installation of Fedora, to intermediate to advanced customization, and finally towards establishing a working development environment. There are many choices of things to include when making recommendations for applications, editors, and the like, and I thought Alex chose an excellent mix of things that would cater to most levels of folks interested in Fedora and Systems Administration. For many years I helped folks get started with using different flavors of Linux, and it was always a challenge to find the time to help someone get up to speed. While the focus of this book is primarily on using Fedora, I would say this book would be perfect for anyone that is wanting to switch over to using Linux as their daily driver, with the Gnome Desktop Environment. It doesn't stop there, it also includes some other good tips and tricks for using version control, ansible for automation, and even a primer for using containers.

A very informative guide to Fedora. I've been daily driving the Fedora distribution for about 2 years now and every chapter had something useful. I recommend picking it up especially if you're new to the distro or if you're looking to explore supporting it on a broader level within your organization. Combining the suggested labs in the chapters with the official documentation would make you an expert.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
