The one I bought was "Fedora Core 5 Unleashed" by Paul and Andrew Hudson. It is a 1000 page tome with a paragraph to a chapter covering most (perhaps even all, at 1000 pages) of the major packages in FC. It is obviously a book that was once called "Fedora Core 5 Unleashed", and before that, "Fedora Core 3 Unleashed", etc... I was hoping for something that covered more of the design philosophy of Fedora, but if you want to know something about everything (in FC5, that is), this books seems like a pretty good place to start. It has little tidbits, like "If you have the source code for a project and you want to turn it into an RPM (because one doesn't already exist), look at CheckInstall", which is what I remembered reading, but didn't remember the punchline. --wpd
