I am doing my best Steve Jobs impression right now. Post-cancer. So, yeah, I'm hoping and praying to gain some weight.

I've been reading this for a couple of weeks online at safaribooks online via my employer's free subscription using netglearning.

I wish it went into more realistic scenarios. I just got OS Server and can't figure out most of the topics. Sure, the book makes it sounds easy, but it just doesn't work without knowing a lot more than the steps in the book. I am still trying to figure out some things, like how/why/where to 'name' the server? They give server.example.com, but I have no clue where this is done for the real name you give it, or why (why use .COM? do you need to? ) etc.

One must know quite a bit about all the major topics, first. and I don't.
