'TCP/IP Network Administration' by Craig Hunt is an outstanding book; it taught me a lot about networking, really made the subject comprehensible. The other O'Reilly book that I found indispensable when getting started was 'Essential System Administration' by Aeleen Frisch. In fact, why don't I just "me too" about O'Reilly. Everything of theirs that I have seen has been excellent. [snip] -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging ]
