4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful
This book is denseley packed with essential information. Although it needs to be updated, I give it a high rating because as far I know, there's no other book that focuses on this subject. There are sections that I'll never use, such as "UUCP", but the overall authoritativeness of the volume leads me to believe that those sections are critical to other people in...

Informative but outdated
If you need to build a old fashion Linux Server with UUCP, I think it is a great book for you. But if you need to build a web server, Samba or firewall, try to get another one.

There are sections that I'll never use, such as "UUCP", but the overall authoritativeness of the volume leads me to believe that those sections are critical to other people in different situations!

Its actually being rewritten at the moment I believe. But the rewrite has been going on for at least a year that i know of so far. Guess should be out in the not too distant future

As one of the essential books on the Linux shelf, Kirsch needs to release a fresh version. Networking has changed much in the nearly three year since January 1995. (For instance, there's not a single mention of the administration issues of httpd). In addition, the sendmail section is very much IDA centric...needing more details on setting up sendmail "as is". Also lacking is consistency: some of his examples concern a "virtual brewery" and then there's an unexpected shift to a "Groucho Marx University." These points aside, LNAG does contain sufficient material to be a valuable addition.
