The Mark Sobell books are GOOD; I've not heard any rumors regarding a RHEL7
update (sadly).A quick check/search showed me that the latest Fedora Bible is
from 2011 for Fedora14. That is definitely dated.
There is always (as you mentioned) the staple of existing Fedora Documentation.
Which, you could always peruse and even work to enhance for the benefit of the
community at-large, if you were so inclined.
There 'are' differences between RHEL6 and RHEL7, yet a lot of the insights he
provides are still excellent studying material. I'd also recommend a good look
through Red Hat's documentation, both for RHEL6 and RHEL7, from their web-site.
Nice as it will be to study and get certified for RHEL7--- what guarantees
will you have that the system's you'll actively work on will be v7, as opposed
to v6. For the breadth of diversity, as well as providing optimal ROI to your
current/future employer, being skilled on the nuances of both will likely
garner greater success.
Setting up your own Fedora/Red Hat machines (VMs!) at home is an excellent
opportunity to broaden your skills, too. Demand more from yourself than anyone
else can ever hope to request from you.
Your attitude of wanting to learn more and fix your own stuff is commendable...
BRAVO!!I sense you'll do just fine and get past the learning curve, since
you've the hunger to know more.
Recommend you always seek to achieve success, that you push yourself to learn
more, that you spend some portion of your time giving back, and that the
'output' you produce, in whatever form, for whomever... is always well-crafted
(i.e. based on quality) versus quickly done (aka 'quantity'). There are times,
certainly, when the required 'pace' is necessarily frenetic.... but when that
becomes the norm, look out. I have been lucky to work for employers who want
deadlines met, yet the focus is on achieving them with a quality product.
Wish you the very best success!

Subject: Book Recommendation for Fedora users?
Hi,
I've been using Fedora for several months now, and really like it. I would
really like to know more about the inner workings and eventually get RH
certified, so I'm wondering what you
long-time users or RH certified folks would recommend book-wise.
I've seen Mark Sobell's book on Amazon but it's a year old and I'm worried it
would already be outdated. Besides the official Fedora Documentation, how can I
learn more about the inner
workings of my system? Many times when something goes wrong I have to appeal to
others for advice, and while there is nothing wrong with that, I would like to
know enough about my
system to be able to troubleshoot and diagnose just about anything. I would
also like to help others, and someday contribute back to the project. Right now
I feel too ignorant to
submit bug reports or try to contribute anything.
Besides daily use and experimenting, is there anything you'd recommend to move
from casual user to power-user/contributor?
