Excellent "get up and running NOW" book

This book covers the basics needed to install and maintain a Linux internet site. This is an excellent reference book for those who want to use linux to it's fullest. However, this book is not for the beginner. In fact, unless you have a strong computer background and have some experience on a unix/linux shell then you might be lost. There is a lot of information not included in this book, for example all the software (most of which is free) that is available. I would recommend this book to anyone with the appropiate computer background that wants to begin setting up their own internet site/ISP.

This book is helpful, but wrong in some places.

This book got me up and running in about 2 days with linux. The only problem was that it was incorrect in some places. The most notable mistake the author had was on the actual installation of linux. She forgot to tell the reader to make the swap file! The only other time that she was incorrect was with the setup of the file x86config. This is the file that sets up X-Windows. X-Windows is to Linux what Windows is to dos. It's a graphical interface. I still haven't got my copy of X-Windows up! Other than that, it shows, in great detail, how to setup anything you could imagine/want regarding www, ftp, a mailserver, etc. I recommend to buy it, as it is extremely easy to use. I would have given this a ten if the author would have a) fixed the errors I listed above, and b) didn't make the reader rely on past knowledge. I happened to have a lot of computer knowledge. This is essential, if you are going to set up Linux. So, to close, if you want Linux, and know nothing about computers, ask someone else to do it (after you've done it once, it's easy), or proceed at your own risk. You may get caught with a couple hunderd megs missing off your computer if you mess up! (or worse yet, you may have to reformat!)

A practical guide for installation of Linux Internet Server

This book is "very very" easy to follow and you should have no problem to get your Internet Server running with Linux. It provides all the essential materials that you should know about the installation of Internet Server. Perfect for Linux novice. The only flaw is lack of technical detaisl about Linux. However, if you just want to run an Internet Server with Linux in no time, this book is your choice.
