1 out of 5 stars Waste of Time   January 19, 2002

The CDROM is entirely unloadable either via a boot disk or from itself. The number of mistakes in the book is amazing. It is entirely worthless considering I bought it to help my son learn how to set up an internet server and to use Linux! No more Coriolis Press books for me.


3 out of 5 stars Great for newbies   September 20, 2001

Great place for a complete newbie to start. And I would only use this book to gain understanding about what is involved in setting up a very basic webserver with Apache, Sendmail and DNS, not how to administer one. It is very easy to read and follow. You will learn a little about linux but your next book will need to be Kabir's "RedHat Linux Administrators Handbook" or something of the like.

However, it does have a major typ-o by referring to the vi editor as the vigr editor which could be very confusing to beginners.

The book gives a good explanation of how the internet works and how a webserver is used with some info on Proxy, intranet, T1 networks and troubleshooting. But it gives very little explanation why and how you do what you do.

Do what the book says. Use the CD that came with it and not the latest linux release and you should be ok. Remember, just for learning purposes.

If you already know how to set up Apache, DNS and Sendmail then try "Craig Hunt's Linux Library Series". Also, you will not learn how to install PHP with this book.


1 out of 5 stars Complete waste of time and money   May 8, 2001
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Unlike Dennis Cartwright, I cannot recommend this book even after receiving the replacement CD. The replacement still will not boot, and using the floppy install I get the message, "No Red Hat CD-ROM found." Maybe if you already have Linux installed from some other better-written book you could use this book to learn about DNS, Sendmail, Apache, etc. but I sure wouldn't know. If you are a Linux newbie hoping to stumble your way through to some knowledge, this book will waste your time, money, hair, and fingernails. I would give it zero stars if I could.

P.S. Check out the Coriolis web site time. They have links to errata for their books - this is a great idea! Unfortunately, the errata page for this book insists that there are no problems, no errata available, the book is perfect! HA! What a joke! O'Reilly books has nothing to fear from this competitor!

With the correct cd everything works fine. Not for beginners. With a 3 button mouse typos are easy to overcome. Life is good.

I am totally ne wto Linux....but I want to hold the title "WebMaster" so I set out to Learn Apache. This book is an Awesome beginning for any Linux newbie. Not only does it explain how to set up a server..... but it explains linux itself from scratch. It was everything I needed to know about Linux.

Its very visual and an easy read as well.
