This book is a must have for anyone who administers Linux SuSE servers or any Linux based servers. I knew nothing about Linux before I bought this book. This book has made SuSE very clear. As a System Administrator of an ISP, this book helped me a great deal in setting up and modifying our servers. In addition, the book was a great tool as I converted my BSD servers to Linux without a glitch. I highly recommend this book to anyone, the beginner or the advanced. This book has taught me most of what I need to know, however, it is also an excellent reference to go back on. I will like to thank Bill for emailing me with detailed answers to my questions and concerns about my conversion. Thanks Henry Gonzalez

great book!

This is a great book to get one started running any linux. It's very good for SuSE, my favorite business class linux. I found the TCP/IP section to be one of the best I've ever read. Tells you what you need to know without getting too far into the messy guts of IP.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs to create and maintain a linux workstation or server.

Finally a book on SuSE ! About time !

So far I have mostly been using the book as a reference. I am new to Linux but have extensive UNIX experience. Whenever I touched topics that were new to me I used this book and it has been a great help so far. The only drawback perhaps is that it covers SuSE 6.2 and not the latest version 6.3.

Still highly recommended !

This Book had everything I was looking for.

Trying to implement Samba as a Domain server.
It took me a few hours to read all the related chapters.
And then followed the steps in the book and 2 Hours later my server was up and running.

Some minor parts are out of date. But it is still the most valuable book I looked at for Linux.

This is an ideal book for the advanced SuSE user and the beginner. It provides a firm foundation for beginners, and is an excellent reference for the more advanced users. I must agree with one of the previous comments, the TCP/IP section was simply awesome!

Just like the distro itself, SuSE Unleashed is a massive volume that explains everything in great detail. Its orginization is such that it also serves as a handy guide for emergencies as well. The CDs that are included come with more than enough programs to enable the beginning Linux user to make that final break from Windows.
