ATTN: NwkAdmins, you NEED this book.
This book is now 2 years old but still the best reference available. I only say that because I have spent $$$ getting everything on the subject I can. With the recent changes in Microsoft licensing every sensible IT professional should be exploring alternatives. A SAMBA server is a great alternative. Mr. Litts book is all you need to go from knowing next to nothing to knowing enough to impress your geeky Network Admin friends.This book is well written, clear and expansive. I didn't read it cover to cover (not at first anyway) I found pieces I needed, applied it, digested it, reviewed it and then went on to the next morsel I needed. If I missed something it was easy to find. By the way, it works with Win2K and WinXP neither of which is well documented by anyone anywhere.
I'm just glad they didn't charge me for what it was really worth! (most books I buy I quickly regret wasting the money unfortunately)

Great book
Probably the best Samba book out there, not exactly a book you can sit down and read cover to cover, but after the first few chapters you will have a basic Samba server set up. The rest of the book is more reference material for more complex setups. I had no networking knowledge prior to this book and was able to set up a small Linux/Windows network at home using the contents of this book.

Priceless
I don't setup a network without this book. It's as complete as any book I have on any subject. Similar Products
