Need to setup a Red Hat Internet Server? This is the book.

Setting up a Red Hat Internet Server? Then "Red Hat LinuxInternet Server" is the book for you. I had previously read RedHat Press's "Red Hat Linux Networking and System Administration"by Collings and Wall. Though a good book, I had expected a bitmore from one blessed by Red Hat. "Red Hat Linux InternetServer" does live up to its expectations of being blessed by RedHat. "Red Hat Linux Internet Server" is the better of the twobooks.This book is better focused on its subject of setting up anInternet server and its more common Internet services. There islots of practical advice based on what is considered SOP for goodUnix/Linux Internet server schemes. (From my own experiences, Idid not find anything to disagree with them on and I liked theirtake on learning the CLI first before going off into GUI-land.)At least a quarter of the book is focused on security (a goodthing). I suspect this has much to do with Jay Beale, being fromthe Bastille Project. Noteworthy are chapter 3 on setting upDSL, chapter 10 on the Postfix mail server and chapter 13 doingbackups via Amanda.If you are new to Red Hat Linux and can afford it, buy bothbooks. If you've been around awhile in the Red Hat world, thenSery & Beale's book is the better choice.
