Grex Internet Item 41: Books on how to administer an Internet-connected system
Entered by jep on Mon Apr 4 05:28:01 UTC 1994:

        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.
