      Comments about O'Reilly Media Managing Infrastructure with Puppet:

      I had never gotten a bad book from O'Reilly, until now. This pamplet appears to be a poor cut and paste job from the online files provided by the developers. I had hoped it would cover the configuration of puppet, but it starts out with "load the rpm" and then it's running. It gives little information as to how to configure the service. It assumes that all will work out of the box.

        Comments about O'Reilly Media Managing Infrastructure with Puppet:

        Though you could probably pick up a thing or two from the actual content of this book, there really needs to be more content than this. People will feel ripped off. There's a lot you can do with Puppet. The concept of the product is fantastic, you can write plenty about it along with a lot more real world examples.

            Because this book is much worse than its cover.

            But i can not tell much more about the book because the book doesnt tell me much too

            Even for 9,99 $ this is much to expensive because you get the better thing for free from the developers of puppet

                O'Reilly should never have allowed this book to be put up for sale.
                It's unbelievable shallow. Even the puppetlabs pdf manual contains much more info and insight then this 46 page nothing. Total waste of money.

                    Comments about O'Reilly Media Managing Infrastructure with Puppet:

                    I would not even call this a book. It was a 30 page pamphlet. It did not provide me any insight into puppet or help me to use or configure puppet. It was a complete waist of time and money. I am surprised O'Reilly would publish this and charge more than $.99 for it.

                      • A man page hold more info

                        Comments about O'Reilly Media Managing Infrastructure with Puppet:

                        I bought this hoping for some insightful new information related to Puppet and managing servers etc.

                        When it arrived I realized I paid $25.00 for 30 whole pages of sparse information that is explained far better in puppetlabs online language guide.

                        Overall this was a huge waste of money for me, and it amazes me that O'Reilly would even publish something like this.
