Product Description
Product Description
The Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Third Edition dispenses all the practical advice you need to join a network. Along with some hardware considerations, this highly acclaimed guide takes an in-depth look at all of the essential networking software that comes with the operating system--including basic infrastructure (TCP/IP, wireless networking, firewalling) and the most popular services on Linux systems.
But as the follow-up to a classic, the third edition of the Linux Network Administrator's Guide does more than just spruce up the basics. It also provides the very latest information on the following cutting-edge services:
- Wireless hubs
- OpenLDAP
- FreeS/WAN
- IMAP
- Spam filtering
- OpenSSH
- BIND
- IPv6
Authored by Terry Dawson, Tony Bautts, and Gregor N. Purdy, the Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Third Edition emerged from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). The LDP's goal is to centralize all of the issues of Linux documentation, ranging from online documentation topics such as installing, using, and running Linux.
From the Publisher
The Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Third Edition updates a classic Linux title from O'Reilly. This refreshed resource takes an in-depth look at everything you need to know to join a network. Topics covered include all of the essential networking software that comes with the Linux operating system, plus information on a host of cutting-edge services including wireless hubs, spam filtering, and more.

To the point...
4 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
I received the book this week, and truly I'm delighted with it. It's not a big book, and probably that's one of its main virtues: each chapter is very focused and manageable and, in a few hours (or minutes, depending on whom), matters can be applied with confidence. I liked especially those chapters concerning wireless networking and LDAP.
As it's based on the LDP (Linux Documentation Project), the subjects are accessible there (http://www.tldp.org). I'm one of those who still prefer an O'Reilly book :).

Printed Professional Quality Book
14 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
This book fits into the space between the general everything there is to know about Linux books (which give limited space to each subject) and highly specialized books that cover only one application such as Apache or sendmail. It's a niche book intended for people aministering a Linux network. It contains what you need to know to set up a network and keep it up.
This is the third printed edition of this book. This has given time for the original work to be expanded and rewritten to satisfy the needs of readers who down through the years have sent in questions on various subjects.
This book is based on the on-line Linux documentation but bound into a convenient book, cleaned up professional illustrations, better indexing. While it costs a bit, it is probably no more than the cost of the ink cartridge it would take to print it out.

I Loved it!
8 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
I was very suspicious of this book, because I knew it was available online for download. I thought at first, why not just print it and read it. A friend of mine told me this is something completely different. And he was right. It was worth every penny (cent).
The book is a great introduction to Linux networking theory and practices. Although it's lightweight in size, it makes it up with easy to read high quality content. I think even some experienced sysadmins might find a lot of interesting information inside.
The guide is very well written, with nice and self explaining graphics.
