Title: Linux Firewalls (2nd Edition) Publisher: Sams Authors: Robert Ziegler Rating: 4/5  Mr. Ziegler does an incredible job of explaining the fundamentals of TCP/IP and details the importance of firewalls for home, home office, and small businesses. The book is thorough and eloquent. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in security on the Internet, especially using Linux to implement a home/home office/small business firewall with a cable modem or DSL connection. Mr. Ziegler's website is a great companion to this book, it even builds a firewall script based on questions you answer. I only wish Mr. Ziegler talked about the newer features of ipchains that are not available in ipfwadm. Overall, the book can take you from Firewall Dummy to Firewall Wiz.

Title: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Rating: 3/5  Windows 2000 is considerably more feature rich and complex than was NT and the Server Resource Kit reflects this in volume. It was released the same week I took the MOC Accelerated Training for Windows 2000 and when my Instructor made fun of the idea of buying such a large set of books I calculated that I could read through the 7 volumes in 4 months if I read 50 pages daily. After finishing the Deployment Planning Guide I'm about a week ahead of schedule. The Deployment Planning Guide reflects Microsoft's understanding that Windows 2000 must be implemented with thorough planning to achieve the potential it has for supporting an enterprise environment. This volume is a Project Manager's dream. Nearly every planning base has been covered here from identifying the appropriate composition of various teams to task sequencing to checklist templates. The material is so well organized for guiding an implementation project that I am surprised it was not released with a Microsoft Project file and instructions to just add your own dates and stir. The Deployment Planning Guide provides a useful survey of many of the features of Windows 2000. Even after a week of MOC training and reading through the two volumes associated with that class I learned some new things from the Planning Guide about how Win2K works. For people who need to gain an understanding of what the options are and how all the pieces fit together this is an excellent read. For the most part the Planning Guide is clearly and accurately written. A few times terms seemed to be misapplied and the results were confusing. Repetition became annoying as the reader was referred to Server Help or the Unattend.doc on the installation CD for more information too frequently. Chapters 13 and 25 repeat the same material, once to describe automating server installations and then again to describe automating client installations. These problems reflect an obvious effort to make each section self contained but even so the volume is quite readable as an overview of Windows 2000 networking. Check back in about 30 days for my review of the 1500 page Distributed Systems Guide!
