A good book for beginning a network with SUSE but not very much info on networking to anything other than Linux and Unix. Perhaps that was intentional. Be that as it may, it truly did help me set up a small Linux network in short order. It guided me through DNS problems I was having and cut through DHCP in Linux like butter! Chapters on Gateways and Security are really helpful. If a large Linux network is needed, this book would be just as helpful, because all the info still applies. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy this book because the down to earth style of writing, clear explainations of Linux terms and usage of the command interface. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was hoping for a little more info on networking with Windows products. I highly recommend this book to those who have chosen SUSE as their brand of Linux who are interested in networking Linux machines.
