You could do worse than take a look at Mark G. Sobell's 'A Practical
Guide to Fedora & Red Hat Enterprise Linux'.

As with all Mr. Sobell's books, it's extremely well written, very
readable & will impart knowledge to even the most seasoned user.

It currently ships with Fedora 15 on DVD so it's not quite cutting edge
so to speak but then again, there ain't the market for producing a
thousand page book every six months & even if there were, I think you'd
struggle to find an author willing to take the job on.

I'd imagine Sobell will tackle Fedora again in the near future once the
transition to the new filesystem & all other additions are implemented
but as to when that'll happen, you'd have to ask him (he's on Twitter).

Cheers,

  Phil...
