| Publisher Description: "Linux in Small Business: A Practical User's Guide" shows Windows users and administrators how to achieve immediate savings in almost any office environment by integrating Linux into their daily operations as a server - Internet, file and print, Web, e-mail, database - and as a Windows-compatible workstation. Author John Lathrop concentrates on practical solutions and real-life examples to the problem of ever more expensive software. He eschews Linux evangelism, presenting instead real solutions that reduce software purchases, enhance stability, and lower the costs of maintenance and hardware upgrades. Using a simple, step-by-step approach, Lathrop shows how Linux can be integrated in a mixed, Linux/Windows environment, both saving money and avoiding workplace disruption. Linux has now matured to the point where, with modest instruction and using familiar GUI tools, a Windows user or administrator can install, set up, and use Linux effectively in a business, workgroup, school, or government office. "Linux in Small Business: A Practical User's Guide" covers more material than most Linux books - the scenario-based LAN section alone, covers DHCP, DNS, NAT, Samba, NFS, Sendmail, Apache, and Postgre SQL. It covers this material using a practical, how-to method, showing the user how to set up these programs and protocols in a realistic, hands-on way, and showing by example how they can be made useful in the office or workgroup. |
