Linux Networking Cookbook 64

dinotrac writes "Somebody special is coming over for dinner. You're not a chef, but you can cook well enough to get by, so you grab your best cookbook and get to work. That's the idea behind O'Reilly's Linux Networking Cookbook, by Carla Schroder. Carla has gathered a group of networking recipes that a reasonably Linux-savvy reader can use to address network needs like a seasoned sysadmin. If you want to find out how to hook your Linux workstation to a LAN, get another book. If you are reasonably comfortable with Linux, need to set up an LDAP server, configure single sign-on with Samba for a mixed Linux/Windows LAN, set up a VPN, or troubleshoot network problems without some uppity online geek telling you to RTFM, this book may be what you're looking for."

Comment Re:But can it boot OSes installed on SATA-RAID? (Score 1) 225

Some limited support is available in Linux using "dmraid", but apparently you have to be a command-line expert with significant Linux-Fu powers to set that up, and all it will allow you to do is boot up GRUB from a non-SATA-RAID drive and then use it to boot Windows from a SATA-RAID array.

Not to argue, but I am running a dual-boot system on a sata raid array, no extra drive in the business. Dmraid does it for you, there are straightforward HOWTOs. Indeed you won't find a gui to set this up, OTOH I do not see raided systems becoming that common, and even if it's true that raided, dual-boot systems are becoming common, I bet that for 99% of those who use such, compiling a linux kernel from the command line is not an issue.
