IF YOU ARE STARTING XEN
I do recommend this book. It is a little dated ( about two years ) but it is still a good read.
The book is put out by No Starch press which has an hippy/indie bookseller feel to it.it is also fifty bucks which is sort of pricy.
They mainly focus on the ‘free’ versions of Xen. If you bought Xen, this book will still help you get a better feeling about Xen.
WHAT I LIKE
There is good stuff in the book on using Xen and system administration. Written in a pretty plain style with an emphasis on the what and why of system administration.
In other words, it doesn’t suck.
WHAT I HATE
I hate the cover. Really. I have been trying to find some rhyme or reason for it, but I cannot except for one. One of the authors drew it.
I kept finding myself wanting to hate the book because of the cover & illustrations, but I didn’t. Like I said before, it is published by No Starch press. They seem to be really bad at cover design. I am sure they would say ‘creative’, ‘eccentric’, or ‘artistic’. I just think …. bad.
