5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a Linux book that gives you the answers, January 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Hat® Linux® 6 in Small Business (Paperback)
I've spent months wading through various Linux books and documentation trying to set up a basic multifunction Linux server. This book gave me all the answers. It clearly guides you through all the required set up without presuming any previous knowledge. I really can't recommend this book highly enough. I achieved in one evening with this book a fully working server with all the bells and whistles. Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Swiss Army Knife!, January 30, 2000
This review is from: Red Hat® Linux® 6 in Small Business (Paperback)
This book is great - answers many questions on setting up a Linux internal (home) network. Its up-to-date and includes the authors own network example. A definite plus!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not stellar, May 31, 2000
This review is from: Red Hat® Linux® 6 in Small Business (Paperback)
The book offers some moderate help for Linux admins, but really fails to do either of the following well: 1) Explain terms and commands in an easy to understand method 2) Take advanced routines and make them work--the ip proxy example doesn't work with my version of RH.
