Review
If you have the computer expertise to set up Linux, but are unfamiliar with networking in general, The Linux Networkprovides all the information you need to get your Linux network up and running. The authors begin with an overview of networking that discusses the TCP/IP network protocol in detail. The text then proceeds to cover initial installation and configuration of network hardware and software for Linux, how to set up e-mail, intranets and the Internet, and how to integrate a Windows 95 systems into a Linux network.
To give you an idea of the depth of this guide's networking information, take this example from the "Wiring Multiple Machines via Ethernet into an Intranet" chapter. To create a twisted-pair network, the authors provide sections on the physical layout of the network, supplies required for wiring, and how to run the cable, termination, and connections. The book also tells you how to use Linux as your Internet server and gateway to the Internet. The included CD-ROM contains the Slackware Linux version 3.5. --Robert Frankland, Amazon.com
From the Author
A primer for persons building a Linux based Intra/Internet
The Linux Network is a primer for using Linux as the server for a workgroup or small office/home office LAN. We discuss using Linux for E-mail, Discussion groups (News), WWW, and Win95/NT file and print services. We also discuss setting up infrastructure applications like DNS and using Linux as a dial up internet router. Our audience is the relative beginner who wishes to use Linux as a server or the server on a LAN. We start by getting the reader "up to speed" by giving her an understanding of the basics of TCP/IP networking. After this we discuss setting up and tuning Intra/Internet applications in a project based manner. We round up with a short discussion of security and some tips and pointers for further information.

The LINUX Network (The M&t Books Slackware Series)
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
