1.0 out of 5 stars LOUSY BOOK - misleading title - little to no tech info, August 16, 1999
If Amazon's rating system would let me give a *negative* number of stars, I would. This book wasted my time.

Although this book's title includes "How to build Yourself a 95/NT, 2000 Microsoft Active Directory Clone", there is in fact almost no information in the book as to "how to" do this - only the most general information is given. (There is some useful-appearing information {I think} on installing NDS for NT, though the rest of this book is so sloppy, I wouldn't trust it without trying it.) The Linux installation information is sketchy at best, the information for the WINE (WINdows Emulator), a key component to build a "windows clone", is virtually non-existent, documenting a few programming calls only. This book is mostly an anti-microsoft screed, (which I am not against - I bought the book precisely because I'm looking for non-Microsoft options), but it's *not* in ANY sense a "How To" book.

The book includes coupons which will allegedly cause the author/publisher to send either 1 or 2 CDs (you figure it out - I can't). (Actually, it includes 2 such coupons, but one appears hopelessly out of date.)

Inside the back cover is a sticker that says in part: "The value of this book is in the software you get, instructions and help directions you will find on the CD's - NOT IN THE PAGES OF THIS BOOK." (emphasis added.) Boy, that's for sure.

This book has the appearance of being haphazardly assembled from various un-related sources with no proofreading at all. As an example, in one of the few actual technical tips, he discusses editting a file he repeatedly calls "&period;Xclients". Someone with a little HTML knowledge and Linux familiarity can tell he probably meant ".Xclients" - the "&period;" looks like an HTML escape sequence for ".", so he took this from a web page somewhere with NO editting or proofreading. Many other cases of abrupt changes of subject, non-sequiturs, etc., are available.

Finally, the book physically fell apart while I was reading it through the first time.

I intend to send for the CD. When it arrives, I will install and test it and report back here on the results.
