What's a good book for learning how to deal with the Internet from a system administrator point of view? How to set up things for your machine on the Internet, how to configure PPP, etc. I know how mju did it, some of it anyway, but I do not have mju's brain and cannot browse through a few standards documents and come out with a comprehensive understanding of Unix networking. (-: What I need is "System Administration and Unix Networking for Dummies". Is there a book like this?

I'd be surprised if you couldn't find such in some alt.internet..<something>.

If you find it, either post it here or let me know.

I asked my acquaintance in freenet land, and here is his advice: Here's a listserv to subscribe to....although its been pretty quite lately. Its probably the best source of info though. I also have gotten the names of some of the freenet techs from around the country and made friends with them-so I get advise from people who are doing it. I usually run my ideas by one of them before I spring it on our people. :) Watch the list and take names. Then send private email. ============listserv address: listprocessor@cunews.carleton.ca no subject message: Subscribe Freenet-Tech <your name> ============== if i recall I was returned an error message but I started receiving it anyway.
