Description: In this comprehensive guide, a leading Windows/Linux integration consultant shows experienced system administrators exactly how to solve the key problems they face in making Linux and Windows work together seamlessly and cost-effectively. Start by configuring and deploying Samba, transforming a low-cost Linux box into a high-performance file-and-print server for Windows workstations. Learn how to connect Linux and Windows using NFS, FTP, remote commands, secure shell, telnet, and other other techniques. Next, walk through your options for managing Windows and Linux on the same workstation: practical partitioning techniques, administering multiple filesystems; working with boot managers; dealing with compressed drives, CD-ROMs, and more. Finally, compare today's leading approaches for providing data and program compatibility between Linux and UNIX, from emulation and Windows terminals to browser-based applications, StarOffice/Microsoft Office data exchange; database access via ODBC; and more. For all intermediate-to-advanced users and system administrators called upon to integrate Linux and Windows.
