The Samba god book,
By Frank Jørgensen (DK Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition: Using Samba (Paperback)
If you ever wanted to know about SAMBA, what it is, what it does and how to use it, this is the book...the ultimate book...Not only covers it all features found in SAMBA, it also covers most intergration with other systems, containing many helpful hints for servermanagers. The book also manages to both look back over the past of SAMBA, but also look ahead into the future use of the product. Awesome book, you can't go wrong with this buy.
