Hello Everyone,

I have just a quick question. We have a bookstore by us who have this 50% off sale on all computer books.

I was wondering which books are some good learning material for webhosting? I have been looking at these so far....

UNIX System Administrators Bible
Learning Unix Operating System 5th Ed
Apache Web Server Administration and E-Commerce Handbook
Apache Server Bible
DNS and BIND, 4th ed.

What other resources would be helpful?

Oooo, what book store is this? :)

I'd be snatching up books left and right at 50% off. I'd stay away from those "Bible" books, they seem to cover the same amount of material that a book 300 pages less could :eek:

Some books I'd suggest looking at are:

Real World Linux Security (Second Edition if possible)
Building Secure Servers with Linux (no idea if this is on bookshelves yet)
Absolute BSD (Great book)

Thanks :)

I am sure you will have one around you, they have a few stores now.

www.HalfPriceComputerBooks.com

The store that is local is loaded with tons of books that I need.

Do you think I should read UNIX books to help me with Linux books? When I start my servers, they will all be run on Red Hat, so it might be good to know both.
