This is a good volume, but very dated. I'd probably pass on it.

Actually, although dated, its still a very good manual for concepts, and much of it... believe it or not... is still just as valid as the day it was written.

Some things of course have changed, like web security and protocols.

Some of the linux admin stuff has now been automated with reasonable defaults, *but not all*...

Appendix D is good-- additional resources bibliography !

Maybe try to buy or borrow a used copy [ or just skip it... ]


PS I really have hoped that Anonymous would be putting out a second edition, but I can't find it... so not yet...


kind regards,
m harris
