Red Hat Linux Networking and System Administration [With CDROM]

If you are using, or thinking about using Red Hat Linux, you should buy this book. I found this book to be very useful for nearly everything I wanted to do on my system. Following the examples in the book I was able to configure Apache, Samba, NFS and anything I needed to use the system on my network. I highly recommend this book to Red Hat Linux users.

Clear - accurate map of the topics covered in the RHCE certification. This book includes the RHCE topics and skills but most importantly does things the Red Hat way. This book is not designed for Linux newcomers but with about 3-5 months of study you can get up to speed (assuming you know networking). Not only does it provide explanations but also gives examples. I have found in many Linux books that the examples given do not work or minor details are left out (causing major headaches). The examples in this book are real and accurate. For my Linux courses this is one of three core books I reccommend to my students.

From configuration, subnetting to security this book has it all. Once linux hits it big, you will want to be prepared to provide support for Red Hat boxes. This book is pretty much everything you need. Also this is the most recent Red Hat book, it covers Red Hat 7.2 (ie EXT3 file systems). So if you want to setup Tripwire, Wu-FTP or secure your box this is THE book to get. Great for weekend hackers and seasoned Solaris Admins.I also recommend Osborne Press's RHCE study guide. Only flaw with that book is it is based off of Red Hat 7.1.-Good luck

I have "Red Hat Unleashed" and "Red Hat the complete reference"...both are helpful books if you already know networking. They are both more like dictionaries or reference journals though. "Red Hat Linux Networking and System Administration " takes you from planning a network all the way through to the end with very specific instructions...a much better text to start your Linux journey into networking. BUY THIS BOOK!!!

This book is THE ONE to buy, for advanced RedHat SA's!Very complete and in-depth coverage of the more-important topics.And to "prove" this, the Sr. Linux admins at a large Co. have selected this as the ONE book all the SA's should refer to.(Also the companion security book)
