Building a Server with FreeBSD 7
by Bryan Hong
Amazon Price: $16.94
Customer Review: I love to learn as much about a particular technology as I can. If this describes you, this might not be the book for you. This book will not go into all the details of Apache or MySQL. There are plenty of books out there on individual topics.
The reason I love this book is not because of all the detail it has, but because it gives you a good overview of how things should be setup and...

by Tony Bautts, Terry Dawson, Gregor Purdy
Amazon Price: $23.07
Customer Review: I was very suspicious of this book, because I knew it was available online for download. I thought at first, why not just print it and read it. A friend of mine told me this is something completely different. And he was right. It was worth every penny (cent).
The book is a great introduction to Linux networking theory and practices. Although it's lightweight in size, it makes it up w...

Linux System Administration
by Tom Adelstein, Bill Lubanovic
Amazon Price: $29.69
Customer Review: I shelled out the full price for this at a local bookstore with the hopes that it could help me setup a new Debian LINUX server. Normally, O'Reilly books have a very high level of accuracy and detail, this one deviates from that standard quite a bit. I used to admin BSD boxes many moons ago and thought this would be the perfect refresher course for me to get back up to speed with the current techn...
