"Great Newbie Book!" - by TheCiscoGuy on 08-MAY-2011
Reviewer Rating:
I am a network admin, and i have decided to jump from Win7 to Linux -- starting with Ubuntu to learn. This book was a great resource for that! I am now comfortable with at least using the system, and now I feel ready to move onto more complex admin tasks. I didn't know a THING about Linux/Ubuntu, and now I do. Great book for Linux newbies like me!
The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the VPN part. I think it could have been done a lot simpler, but hey, it works :)
