Written and organized well, but best for Caldera.

Nicholas Wells may be the most talented technical writer I have ever run across. This book is an extremely well organized and beautifully written introduction to installing and running a Linux based web server. It also provides fascinating information about topics such as how the internet works, why Linux is a superior operating system, and who makes it that way. That said, I found his statement somewhere near the beginning of his book (the one that convinced me to buy it), to the effect that it should be fine for ANY Linux distribution to be overly optimistic. I have been using it as a reference source for 3 days now with Red Hat linux and have encountered a great deal of frustration trying to implement advice and commands that don't work in the Red Hat environment. Even so, I don't regret having bought the book. I just wish he would write another one for Red Hat.
