1) Paperback Book Linux Networking Cookbook (Linux) by O´Reilly Media, Inc.. The Linux networking cookbook is very specifically orientated to Linux networking tasks. While this book would give useful ideas for other *NIX operating systems the real value is for Linux users.

The book is orientated for Fedora and Debian (Ubuntu) users as these are the basis of a number of the Linux distributions available. The book also shows how to compile required software from source.

The book is task orientated and each chapter relates to a specific task such as setting up a VPN. The range of tasks is very extensive and include Firewalling, wireless networking, VPN, VoIP servers, routing, SSH etc.

The required software is defined along with how to install it. The chapter then goes on to describe configuration and set up for the required purpose. The book is straightforward and describes the process in a simple way without requiring vast amounts of Linux interior expertise. This is not a novice book and it does require some knowledge of Linux however it is very good at describing how to perform most networking tasks for people who are not expert in networking.

I have been using Linux as my desktop for around 2-3 years and I found this book very useful. I recommend it for people who want to do something with networking in Linux and don´t want to spend forever looking up howto´s on the Internet.¤

Easy to recommend, hard to live without for this niche audience.

5) Paperback Book Linux Networking Cookbook (Linux) by O´Reilly Media, Inc.. I bought this book because I enjoyed the Linux Cookbook book that Carla also wrote. This book is formatted much the same. I don´t have to read pages and pages of discussion just to find what I need. It´s a handy reference.

Network stuff can be complicated. Thanks to this book, I´m better at it.

I only hope that Carla is working on the next "cookbook"!! 8-)¤
