A friend of mine actually just bought a book called "Linux Routers" (I
think) - a had a quick flick through it, and it had everything from LRP to
which WAN cards worked best etc... it's hardcover and definitely lives at
tech Dymocks in the city... have a look.. :)

the one i have is the 2nd edition (1995)... i am pretty sure that there is
a new edition on the way, but not sure how far along it will be...

what is developed well in the book is a process approach to certain
tasks rather then a blow by blow account (ie. type "this" in, then
"this"... etc. etc.)

I was looking at Essential System Administration the other day.  The copy I
was looking at was published in 1995!  Is there a newer edition?  Is that
one wroth buying?  Other than that, it looks like a good book.

> Also a good Book on Linux in generaladmin etc .I use Redhat.

how much prompting do you need ??

if you just want a reference -> linux in a nutshell

if you want something more narrative -> running redhat linux

if you want something general unix -> essential system administration

all o'reilly...

[SLUG] Routing Book

2000-10-16 Thread Alister Waller

Hi,

Can anyway suggest a good Book on configuring Linux as a router. I am still
having some problems and think it might be time to read up and maybe get a
grasp on what should be happening rather than what is happening.

ideally something that deals with many scenarious including dialup, LAN and
WAN.


Also a good Book on Linux in generaladmin etc .I use Redhat.
