Negative Positive
Title: This isn't how I've ever seen a Linux server setup.
Review: While it may be neat to use tools through X windows, Linuxconf, etc, the reality is that I've never seen anyone set up a Linux Network Server to run any Internet services using those tools. Every network administrator I've ever talked to removes those tools for security reasons.I was hoping to learn new tricks for setting up secure Linux network servers and services. At the very least I was looking to have a good reference around for various services and programs. I was very disappointed to find that the book covered things in very small detail. So disappointed that I sent it back for a refund. In my opinion this book does not reflect the real world environment as shown by the 4+ years I've been working with Linux in a networked environment. I guess I'll just stick with O'Reilly's so I won't be disappointed.
Is the review positive or negative?
