Dry, Dry, Dry

Dry as a bone, but jam packed with enough info to be an expert on the subject.Bought it and kept falling asleep after many attempts at the first few pages. The many typos can keep your mind from focusing on the material and after submitting a list of errata, I've all but given up on the book except to use it as a reference. I'm waiting for the ExamCram series instead or alternatives.If you love in-depth info, it is detailed enough and covers little known commands, the history and the possible combinations that you might want to use. The labs are great, and you can't expect less from the author who is also a university professor.

Great Distribution Independent Overview

This book is and will be a great resource for anyone who is interested in understanding the function and purpose of Linux networking. I have become a fan of the Sair books because of their ability to examine a relatively infinite set of criteria and pick out useful items that can help anyone be a successful Linux user. They present the information in a way that is easy to apply to every day Linux use as well as give more experienced users a challenge. I look forward to seeing the next one.
