4.0 out of 5 stars
A classic to be judged on its own merits. MUST READ!, April 16, 2004
This review is from: Building a Linux Internet Server (Paperback)
Tech books from before 2000 should not be judged on whether they are up to date. That's a given! They should be judged by how well written and informative they are. This book is both. Granted the software distribution on the included disk doesn't contain much of actual value. But the tips and tricks in the book still work! It's amazing that after all these years so few people still follow best practices. For a collector of tech books, like myself, this book is an invaluable addition to one's library. When Solaris ruled webservers, this book showed how to build a server at a fraction of the cost. I have no doubt that this will be desirable for collectors in the future.

Really superficial and out-of-date, August 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Building a Linux Internet Server (Paperback)
Published in 1995 (!), the Dark Ages at Internet speeds. This books thinks MCIMall is hot news. I found myself irked by the authors repeatedly discussing the choice of how to put your home page on the Internet. They force a choice between dialing up and leasing a line. Of course, 90 percent of the people who want to put a home page on the Net just use someone else's server and share costs.
