1.0 out of 5 stars Narrow view of server only defines toys, 1 Jan 2006
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
I am having trouble finding anything in here about UNIX servers. For that matter I am having trouble finding anything on X servers. In the case of x servers the model is turned around 180 degrees. If there are no clients and no servers then this book is mislabeled. The Internet is based on UNIX. If it wanted to be an SQL book it should have said so. Again be sure to notice which the client is and which the server is as they are reversed in this book

4.0 out of 5 stars Dummies do it again!, 9 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This is the third dummies book I have read, and once again was not disappointed! Doug Lowe as always makes the subject easy to understand and even funny, but this is a book which is more technical than the previous book of his that I read Networking For Dummies, all in all a good book which I know will be an invaluable reference
