The Bible

Hands on, good book for network admins.Linux is an excelent router and this book shows why.I recommend this book for anyone interested in networking.It exposes a lot of the myths and secrets of networking in a very readable fashion.My #1 most useful book.

Exceptional

This book guided me from an almost nil knowledge level on linux routers to very competent. The spectrum of covered topics is fantastic and I also found the appendix extremely useful. Tony has an easy writing style to follow and I look forward to an advanced book on linux routing?

An outstanding book.

I have searched far and wide for a concise book like this. Mancill has clear explanations and detail enough to get a configuration that works. There are bounuses like a good appendix that will walk the newbie (like me) through building his own kernel. How-to's and Man pages are fine, but this book is much easier to read and provided just enough hand holding.

Excellent book

I bought this book just as a curious reader who found the subject interesting and since that day this book follows me everywhere and has generated a great deal of enthusiasm in me to learn more about this subject.Staring from the routing 101 basics to wan configs this book has increased my understanding by a couple of notches.One of the best books I have read in a long long time.

Excellent tutorial

This is a must have book for Unix System administrators working with routers. Tony has written a book that is easy to understand, very concise and explains many advantages to using Linux-based routers. His understanding of network administration is extremely impressive and he conveys that in an interesting manner. Definitely worth the investment!
