This book will help you do very simple things, like installing Linux on a PC, as well as more complicated things, like setting up a Web server, or turning a Linux PC into a PPP dial-in server. There's also an excellent chapter describing everythiong you can do. Really excellent book

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference, March 10, 2000

"rensab" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Linux Secrets (Paperback)

I'm already familiar with UNIX in general but had no expereince in Linux and this book guided me in installing my first machine until I was able to use it for many things such configuring a dial-up server, web server, mail server, etc. all connected to the internet. Its Tips and Secrets is worth the price of the book.
