Network gurus are giants among men-NOT!!!

I think the map metaphor is appropriate here: We want to get to point B; a simple map shows us the way. Does that mean we don't check our oil, inquire about road conditions, ask friends about traffic, etc.? I think not, and this book does NOT tell us to follow blindly. What it does is show that Linux server setup is NOT rocket science, and will get simpler as the distros mature. These self-styled gurus are puzzle phreaks,...

Best picture book to get Linux/Samba running

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before getting this book. I needed to get Linux running first, then I'd learn it later. This book works exactly as planned. Pictures step you through getting Samba to work, and I took an old 486 and made it work on our network. Now I've got a box on which I can learn Linux, and it's already useful on my network.

Bold, where now computer user manual has gone before

This computer user manual is a visual treasure, full of wealth of hands on, easy to follow, non-nonsense instructions on getting a Linux operating system up and running on a Local Area Network. Functionality, wonderfully diagramed procedures and ease of use are the strengths of this book.

Beginner to Intermediate Good Reference on Linux

This book is really cool w/lots of Info and nice visual format. It covers pretty much everything from basic Linux to managing Linux operations and security. It also has easy-to-understand-diagrammed explanations which approach is quite unique. If you want something different to understand Linux, try this book.
