Linux: Networking for Your Office
Tags: Linux, Networking, Office
This book was nothing but a pleasure to read – not because the subject is more enjoyable. The author knows the subject very well, he is able to walk the fine line between too much and not enough information, just in time.
addition, the book is highly organized. The author knows that the subjects must be completed before others. It may be urgent to reach a specific topic, but if read with patience “requirement” chapters (ie in the order presented), the wait will not be disappointed.
covers options for the command line, usually in the first place, but also includes exercises equivalent graphical user interface (such as linuxconf). He also uses RedHat 6. 0 of distro as a favorite. However, it leaves the user-RH in the cold, by any means.
bought “Linux Network Servers 24 Seven” up front and was lost in the first three chapters. Buy this book to help launch a network of Linux slightly inclined and has all the right information at the right time. (Now I can get my money worth 24 Seven book.)
A special word of advice: do not “all books” Samba seems to cover enough (at least to my satisfaction). In other words, be willing to buy a book on the topic of Samba configuration.

I’m a system administrator and work on UNIX workstations and servers every day. This book is a source of knowledge. It is written so that beginners understand how to do what must be done to establish an office network. Very good. I have a lot of bent pages. I’m very glad I bought this book. Good work by Roderick W. Smith.

This book will appeal to those who want to build an intranet for a small medium enterprise servers using Linux.
well written and well structured book begins with the basics of configuring Linux (using Red Hat), the construction of an appropriate kernel for the network, configuration of Ethernet and selection through PPP. After grounding fund will be sharing files via NFS, Samba and netatalk and printer sharing. Having covered these sections can be connected to Linux servers from other windows in Unix, Windows or Macintosh, even with this book, I created a Linux server to act as a bridge between Mac, Windows 95 and NT servers and two workstations Sun
covers so remote login through telnet or ssh shell protocols and access to data using X or X VNC Server. Finally, two chapters on IP masquerading and firewalls.
well, go on that list again – every aspect of the creation of an intranet is covered.
been used extensively in this book I found your fault. When everything works in this book is great. Once the problem is less useful. The large amount of land which means that Smith has flown on problems and solutions. Troubleshooting is almost completely ignored.
I would recommend this book as a beginner’s guide to building a good intranet around Linux for almost all with the caveat that you need more specific information in some areas when they get into trouble. If nothing else is the wonderful inspiration.

Roderick Smith has assembled a heuristic tome that tells you everything you need to know to put Linux to work in the office using his strength as a network operating system.
From the beginning, we started with the basics and goes into detail enough to give the reader a good foundation for their education and at the same time, provides readers with useful, relevant information on the web in general.
After the basics, ITS about “IP addresses of meat” of networks: their classes, subnets and networks dealing with others – too numerous to mention here.
If you are serious about using Linux in a networked environment in the office or at home, then buy this book. It ‘s all you need to start and running in no time!
