Please enjoy my excellent book for Linux power users and sysadmins, the Linux Cookbook. Yes, there is another Linux Cookbook, by Michael Stutz, and it is also an excellent book. Buy both, you won't be sorry.
Network administrators who want a good howto manual that is heavy on "how do I do this" and light on RFCs and boring stuff might enjoy my Linux Networking Cookbook. Learn the ins and outs of iptables firewalls, wireless access points, bridging, routing, secure remote administration, and lots more cool stuff you can do with Linux on cheap hardware, instead of spendy commercial guff with less power and functionality.
I am the managing editor of Linux Today, your daily stop for the best and freshest Linux news and howtos, and also LinuxPlanet, home of excellent howtos and reviews for the Linux desktop.
