Title: dated, but one of the best for its time
Review: Obviously, this is a dated book. Nevertheless is very well written, and you still can learn a lot especially from the early days when Linux was still trying to be a *NIX clone, that is before the RedHats and Novells and other commercial successes that steered the new distributions toward Microsoft's ways and paths of doing bussiness- take a simple command, burry it under a nice GUI, and wreak havoc into the old simple ways, shuffling files and paths around so you can boast you ADDED value !One nice thing about this book is that the Caldera in the title is just an example, a suggestion if you will, most of the stuff worked on any other distro of the time almost with no tweaks or arm wrestling. You'd have a hard time today to do the same, but I believe still this book will teach you "to ask the right questions" when you wrestle with your LAN.
