5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for understanding, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
As a neophyte to Usenet servers etc. I found this book very helpful and would recommened it. I wasn't looking for a Ph.D. on the subject from one reading--that takes hands-on experience in anything.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time and Paper, 25 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Having never specified hardware for or managed a Usenet news server I was looking for high-quality technical guidance. Within minutes of buying this book I knew I wouldn't find it in these pages. The content is simplistic and slow paced. Each time it seems you will get to some meaty discussion the section ends leaving you still feeling hungry and not even providing an interesting taste. Many pages are wasted on instructions for installing Solaris and an overview of the topology of the Internet. The included CD might be useful for signaling passing aircraft but lacks anything more useful. You will be sorry you bought this book. Luckily this isn't the only choice. Take a look at "Managing Usenet". It is the book this one could have been.

2.0 out of 5 stars poor is a good begining, 8 Aug 1997
By A Customer
This book was almost a rehash of the various FAQ's -- just with less information. If you want to install and run on a Solaris machine it is a little more helpful. The index is horrible. There is more filler about good corporate policy than anything else. The only redeeming value (and the reason I gave it a three0 is that it does give step-by-step instructions on compiling innd. That's about it. Not what the directory hierarchy is for, no trouble shooting, nothing.
