Query: not the greatest

I've been messing with this book for a while and have three main points to share. First, the index is very skimpy. That may not sound like much, but it always disappoints me, and with a book of over 1000 pages, it's crucial for finding key information. Second, the book provides very little assistance when encountering difficulty installing the OS. And third, and most painful, the installation CDs were faulty (at least in my copy). If I try to install anything but the minimal of systems, CD #2 starts hissing and coughing. The installer says it can't read the disk, and everything quits.I gave this 2 stars rather than one because my first two points are not critical, and the third is most likely an issue with my particular copy, not the book as a whole.
