Kwira all :)
Well...after playing around with Linux for a few months at home and for a
few weeks at work, I've finally convinced my boss that Linux is the way to
go for our server. We'll be doing email (internal and to/from the Net),
messaging (found an ICQ server in freshmeat...sounds perfect to me :) and
web (intranet and the company's Internet site).
The only real problem I'm facing about this nice project is that of the 3
net-admins on site, I'm the only one who knows Linux....my assistant has
played on my box a bit, but nothing that really matters, and the other guy
is an entrenched NT dude (who will proly end up leaving if we stick to
Linux). I need to educate them, and myself (I don't really claim being an
expert at this...am just good enough to do the basic admin stuff and
killing of un-necessary services :)
So....my question (at least :) is....what would be the 5 (or 10 or
whatever) books that we should get? I have done some HOWTO reading, but
never really thought about the need to get real books till my boss asked me
about it :) Besides the net-admining stuff, I'd like to learn Perl (for
our web stuff(, so a good book on that would also be great :)
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long windy post :)
