Hi!

I saw this book in the bookstore the other day. Was interested to know whether it is useful. It was all wrapped up as usual in Malaysia. Please let me know your opinion of it. I am especially intrested to compare the book with man iptables. Thanks.

Asking questions about book reviews are more suitable in General, since they are not technically technical questions about linux, but opinions on the book itself.

Urr.. thanks trickykid. I thought I am at a general enough forum.

Missed noticing that there is a General forum, although I have been here for 2 years now.

After reading the reviews this book seems like something I would be interested in reading too.
