I use this book as a combo tutorial/reference guide. It’s not a total beginner’s guide. But if you have some experience with command-line Windows, DOS or any Unix at all, this book should prove adequate in guiding you through the 80-90% of Red Hat-specific Linux you’ll want to learn. I like the book’s conversational tone, the short tutorials, and some of the Web links that are sprinkled throughout the text. The book was written about the time RH 6.2 came out, so it’s missing info on the latest features, but it’s still useful to me as I am now running RH 7.2.

I’ve used this scale for three weeks now. For comparison, I kept using a Weight Watcher scale, too (which I wanted to replace because it seemed erratic). For esthetics and price, I like the EatSmart. For functionality, it was not what I expected. For one thing, the accompanying directions say the Step-On (no tap) won’t work if you’ve moved it or changed batteries. If so, you have to reset it, jumping on and off and on again. That was a disappointment, because I wanted to keep it in a closet and just haul it out to weigh. I don’t think the ad spelled out that detail. Somehow, though, even if I move it, it doesn’t demand a reset after all. However, for another thing, the weight never changed, even though I’m sure a different time of day or fluid intake should budge it at least 0.2 pounds. But it stubbornly returned the same figure day after day — until, that is, I reinserted a battery in order to make it reset. Then it reported a notably different weight, one about the same as the Weight Watcher’s for that day. This is a sequence I’ve repeated several times now. So, bottom line: I’m not sure I can trust it. The Weight Watcher was much too ready to show big and implausible variations. The EatSmart is much too reluctant to show any variation at all.

This was kind of funny in certain parts but it’s one of those old tales I keep seeing in Hollywood: boy and girl meet, boy has a secret, girl discovers it, there’s a misunderstanding, they hate each other and then they love each other.

Kind of cute but could we get some variety or is this all they think the masses want?

There’s a theme here about being yourself which has a lot of truth to it, but, there’s also another theme about standing out in the beginning. Make your own decision.
