Re: Linux Book

Dennis, Book, I don't know. I'd suggest starting with the Guides at the Linux Documentation Project, http://www.linuxdoc.org/guides.html and work from there, and don't forget the HOWTO's. The Linux System Admininstrators Guide was updated in Novemer, 2001 and The Linux Network Administrators Guide was updated in March 2000, but contains info on iptables and the 2.4 kernel. The DNS HOWTO was updated in December 2001. I've found if I start with those, I quickly find out what I can't understand, and I'm in a better position to appraise a book when I reach that part of the process and spend my $$$ more wisely. I've seen some which just rehash the Guides and howto's. Linux Magazine had a pretty decent article on DNS several months back. That might be on line now, and could be helpful. Then maybe you'd be ready to plunge into O'Reilly's DNS and BIND. <g> Pretty massive topic. If you've been through all this stuff, then at least you will know what book is right when you see one. I'm interested in hearing what others will suggest. Miles Thompson At 10:58 AM 1/16/2002 -0800, Dennis Gearon wrote:

There are a MILLION linux news/listgroups, I didn't know which one to go to. But I knew someof you guys/gals use linux, (and proudly wear the 'nerd inside' t-shirt!) Soooo. slightly OT, but what is the best linux book out there, aimed at admin/DNS/Networking? Thanks in advance.
