Good content, but many annoying errors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Overall, The Linux Network includes some good information on setting up networking in general on Linux/Unix machines. However, the spelling mistakes and other errors are really annoying at times. If the mistakes were only small ones, I wouldn't be so picky, but there were errors like sonfusing "DSP" for "DNS" and mixing up the name of a newly created kernel. Also, the author spends too much time noting that a certain topic is "beyond the scope of this book". Although it is impossible to cover everything, it would make sense to just go on to the next topic. Finally, he spends more time introducing/ending the next chapter/section than actually writing the chapter. But, I'll recommend this book to anyone interested in Linux networking, as long as he doesn't mind the errors and somewhat flawed organization of the book.
Good book for building your Linux Network

GOOD! This is the only book I need for building my home Linux Server for printing and file sharing, firewall and gateway server. I would recommend this book to only one who want to build their first Linux Server!!
Great Linux Networking Book!!!

I originally purchased this book to see if I could finally get some concise information on allowing my Windows machines to work with linux(Samba). (Which I did pretty easily)The information provided here is great for building a linux network. It covers in pretty good detail several aspects of Linux Networking to include Mail, DNS, SAMBA, Security, Setting up Intranets, connecting your intranet to the internet and much more. Although it is geared towards the slackware distribution, I did not find it to difficult to translate.Becuase of what I learned in this book I am now getting full usage of my linux box. I am now routing all mail and internet access thru my linux DNS server. Sharing resources between WIN95/Linux. My only regret is they did not cover using a WIN95 printer as a remote, only the other way around. A bargain for the information you get.
Excellent if you like Slackware

It's an interesting book if you need networking with linux, and of course if you have Slackware distribuition. Otherwise you are lost... Good buy.
Excellent!

"The Linux Network" has been my companion for several weeks. I had tried to mount one of my Linux SCSI drives on Win98 without success. This book has pointed me in the right direction. Although it did not cover Redhat 5.1 in any detail, it does give great insights to the whole Samba configuration process. That is what I wanted all along. Great Work, Fred & Christopher. My Linux RH 5.1 drive is now available to users on my home/office Lan. O. Carter Network Engineer
