Ok so my teacher for college has been teaching a linux admin class from the same book for the past like 5 years.
It was a good book then but its quite a bit outdated. Hell it uses fedora 2 as its reference. And the thing is, the systems we have now in our lab can't even run it cause the hardware is too new. So hes making me run fedora 14, and in 14 run a VM with fedora 9 on it since he lost the 2 cd. So he wants me to see how much of the book above works with 9 in the VM. And he did something like this last year and only about half the stuff works since the commands have changed, things are different etc... compared to the book (2) and fed 9. I've asked him if he has looked at other books, and he says he has. But he says that none do what he wants, which i feel isn't true since there has to be at least 1 text out there that can be comparable or even better to what the above book teaches.
So i was wondering if anyone has some books i can recommend to him that could be a good replacement for the above, since the author hasn't updated that book. Maybe some that you guys have had in class or personally used for learning linux system/network admin stuff.
Thanks!
