Product Description
This toolkit provides all the software products and hands-on answers one needs to build a Linux network. In fact, with Linux, readers can achieve a robust, fault-tolerant network for the cost of about one workstation. Here's how to implement, configure, manage, and maintain your own network without breaking the bank. The CD-ROM includes Red Hat 5.0 Linux distribution and Samba software.
Amazon.com Review
This guide covers installation and configuration of Red Hat 5.0. The first part of the book details how to install Red Hat and set up a simple network. Later sections describe how to set up Samba for a shared Linux-Windows 95 network and how to set up an Internet connection. It also includes a section on network administration and security.
For those users who want to use the Red Hat version of Linux, this book is an excellent resource. The included CD-ROM contains Red Hat 5.0, an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client, the Apache Web Server, numerous Unix applications, and programming tools. Given the popularity of Red Hat, this may be the best book for the intermediate computer user who wants to run Linux on a PC. --Robert Frankland
