Customer Reviews

I became Linux Administrator reading100 books.

This book is infromed one aspect of Linux Administartion. I became Linux Administrator reading 100 books and using some of them I try to understand commands and errors. The notes below is the states of this book and the stetes of my answer. "Why Linux?" "Source code fot the entire kernel." I was successed to compile linux kernel using Debian Distribution, not usign this book. "Full configurability of the operating system." I was not successed to configure some Linux operating system, now. "Ability to turn features of the system on and off without rebooting." Sometimes I should reboot Linux systems to upgrade and reconfigure the hardware or software. "Full 32-bit oeprating system." The Standard of C compiler is not ristricted to 32-bit C language. So sometimes 16 bit code is still in the system. "Access to the 25 years of softwaer that makes u the uNIX world." Yes, but I cannot understand all of 25 years.

Good book for Biginner Linux Networking

When this book came out I was somewhat new to Linux and having a lot of trouble using the other admin. books. I had to have a quick and easy way to get network services up. It was the only book that taught me how to get up all the services I needed. It covered a lot of important things that are left out of the other books, at least important things to beginners. Most important he has a section on AppleTalk. Other books don't even give hints on this. This is important if you work in publishing, advertising, graphics etc... and need to get a server up in a hurry. What this book does is teach you to get the basic services up and running and then points you to where you need to go to get the real info. I recommend it.

Useful in networking situations

I've been searching for a useful resource in setting up a network using several platforms. This book offered nearly all the information I needed all in one place. It also helped with setting up the printers and other network peripherals I needed.
