"If you are new to administering Linux servers, or if you are a home user that hasn't had
the experience of working in a UNIX environment, then you undoubtedly have questions
about how Linux networking works. Your questions may include how to setup a network
interface, routing, and DNS configuration, for instance."
"If you fall into one of these categories, you are probably searching for a set of
documentation that will walk you through the configuration and use of Linux networking
tools. Such documentation already exists in the form of HOWTO documents (most of
which are included in Linux distributions), online resources, and hardcopy
documentation."
"O'Reilly's Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Second Edition, falls into the latter two
categories. The book is available both on paper and in a free online version. Both
contain the same text and examples. This is a short review of that title. However, before
proceeding, please peruse the Table of Contents to get a general feel for the layout and content of the book."
