If you're a Windows administrator or consultant who recognizes the growing need for Linux skills, then get your hands on this book now! Linux has succeeded in finding a place alongside Windows in many enterprise-scale networks, and more than ever before, Windows administrators need to be familiar with Linux and understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two operating systems. New to the Minasi Windows Administration Library, this title is an update of the highly- acclaimed "Linux for Windows NT/2000 Administrators: The Secret Decoder Ring." Written by Mark Minasi, the world's #1 Windows authority, and Dan York, a leading figure in the Linux community, this book provides practical information on integrating Linux and Windows. Using terminology and examples that are familiar to Windows admins, the authors explain all of Linux's essentials, dispel its myths, and show how to use Linux in enterprise networks alongside Windows.
