Personal Review: Linux Network Administrators Guide by
Gregor Purdy
This is an excellent book to start with if you are considering setting up a
Linux network for your home or small office. The intended audience is
assumed to have some basic programming skills and understands the
priority of network security. If you have never written a make file or know
what make is, you might want to start with a more fundamental book; you
will struggle understanding the concepts of this book. If you have never
used UNIX or Linux, you will be quickly LOST!
It is important to realize that this book is a guide and not a reference. Each
chapter covers a major system vital to the Linux operating system. Book(s)
are written for each system, yet the author covers enough information to
get you started and keep you from being dangerous.
The book also indoctrinates you to the procedures and mindsets of Linux.
If a specific tool is not covered in this book, you will know how to search for
it, read the configuration man pages, build it, and install it.
My background: Mixed Signal IC Design Engineer (20 years), C/C++, C#,
Perl Literate. Converting from Win2K OS to Linux because of corporate
directive. I have been a user of UNIX and Windows OS for 25 years,
however, I never had to administer a network. I wanted to start up a Linux
network at home to act as a Subversion server and a general file server.
