<snip> > Can anyone in the Centos community have some references of these books/DVDs > for purchase? The best training material I've used is available at GuruLabs (www.gurulabs.com). This is courseware with labs tested on Fedora, Redhat and SUSE, the last I checked they were still a little behind in which versions they support. They have 'books' from beginning thru advanced administration, all continually improved. Brett
