Excellent selection
I can have a terminal window and a browser open at the same time. I had always been an O'reily fan and this network CD set, not only is great but a lot more convenient. Very convenient and it is all you need to start networking.

Realmente excelente !!!!
El hecho de tener en un solo CD Sendmail, DNS,TCP/IP, Firewall y Security es invaluable a la hora de consultar y solucionar problemas. Creo que es un excelente recurso para quien tiene que administrar redes. Si bien prefiero a la hora de leer con tranquilidad el libro en papel, en el momento de buscar soluciones en el trabajo, el CD ha probado ser una gran ayuda.

(2nd. Submission) Macintosh owners, read this before buying:
Alas, I lost the money. I already own the whole set of (excellent) books, nevertheless I bought the CD basically to get the added benefit of direct access searching. I use an iMAC to do my research works. Well it turned out that the search engine included in the CD doesn't work directly, but uses a tricky TCP/IP connection against a 'search server' written in Java. In my iMAC (that I keep completely updated) it just doesn't work. First, you need a connection of some sort (even simulated) to resolve the localhost/127. 0. 0. 1 pair (as MAC TCP doesn't use a Host table). If (and when) the server starts, it sends erroneous results to the browser (spaces are interpreted as delimiters so that 'System Folder is passed as 'System' thus causing the browser to be unable of find the right location). The server fails under MRJ 2. 1 and MRJ 2. 1. 1 (it even fails to correctly install the preferences). A short letter to ORA just obtained the well known 'not our fault but of the server (external) implementors'. . . and 'very hard efforts to implement it on Macintosh'!?. Otherwise the port to HTML is excellent.
