Holland "pcalliance" (Ozark, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews    Whoa! Integrate Linux Solutions into your Windows Network is EXACTLY that. I am truly impressed with not only the content of the book, but the way it was written. It is "open" enough to cover virtually all brands of Linux and more than that, gives clear examples to help with the more challenging tasks of integration. I have used this book extensively for setting up a Linux Proxy Server (Squid) on my Windows network and am very pleased with the results. More than this, it will help with just about all practical applications of a server on your network. This book is worth every penny.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

For Windows admins this is like an eye opener. Like anybody else I needed to understand how I could use Linux to share files, printers, do remote admin, etc... Excellent descriptions of bash, samba, MySql, PHP and Apache. Concise, to the point, allowing me a quick start with hints where to further each project. Dustin's approach is to offer real life examples of how to install and use Linux applications. He covers every basic aspect of the Linux system. My recommendation is to buy the book, install Linux and proceed page by page in the exact order of his book chapters and try everything. At the end of the book you will know a little bit of everything.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It covers everything from Samba to using Linux as a firewall for Windows networks. The good thing about this book is that the author using a lot of examples. Also, he covers a lot of material well, instead of just concentrating on one of two things, or trying to cover everything possible. I especially like all of the working examples. All in all, I would give this two thumbs up.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
