Want to know which storage vendors to look at? 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Useful! "Vendor briefs" provides a centralized set of information about lots of storage vendors - "Weaknesses" section in description of each vendor may not make them many friends among the vendors though. Set of buying "rules of the road" particularly helpful.

K. Limberg reviewed the wrong book, I think 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Just a note of clarification: I suspect that that K. Limberg was thinking of a different book when writing the last review. There are at least two books that might have prompted it: one is essentially a copy of the source code ('Apache Server Commentary'), and the other is a copy of the documentation on the Web site (I have a copy, but can't remember the title). I can assure you that 'Apache Server Unleashed' is neither of these; it contains hundreds of pages of technical custom-written text that appear nowhere else. I know, because I wrote a bunch of it. :-)

BTW, the 5-star rating I've given is because I have to give *some* rating, and to offset the single star from what I sincerely believe is a mistaken review.

Editorial Review:

Apache Server Unleashed is designed for both the Apache Web developer and system administrator. Apache Server Unleashed teaches you how to extend the base server through CGI scripts and modules, with extensive advanced coverage on modules. This book teaches the system administrator how to fine-tune the server for specific traffic use. Some topics include how to start, stop and restart the server in order to update, retune, and address any general or disaster recovery issues. Learn underlying architecture of Apache Server, specifically security and authentication, as well as newer topics such as running Apache on Windows NT.

Not just for beginners... 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I do not consider myself a beginner to PCs, but I still found this to be a great book. The chapter on printers, a very under represented technology in books, makes it worth the price. It is really easy to read, but not so easy as to be talking down to you. This would be a good book to read if you are interested in how that box on your desk works or if, for once, you'd like to know what that techie at work is talking about. Good read!

All the details, but in plain language 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I am a newbie to computers, but I want to learn how they work. This book explains the details of how a PC works and much of what I should do when it doesn't. Mr. Gilster explains things in a no-nonsense, clear way that doesn't try to blow me away with all of the technical jargon. He obviously knows his stuff and how to explain it to someone like me. Great book for anyone who wants to move past the newbie level!

Editorial Review:

Ideal for PC owners looking for an accessible, easy-to-follow reference, this beginner's guide to PC hardware offers expert advice on every component--processors, motherboards, memory, BIOS, CD-ROM and DVD drives, video cards, and much more. You'll also get details on external devices, including monitors, printers, keyboards, and modems. The book covers both Intel and non-Intel CPUs and USB and AGP ports.

Knowledge is Power 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

In my opinion, Marketing on the Internet by Jan Zimmerman is a book that every online business should read. The reason I think the book is of such high quality is because of three reasons, the organization, the graphs, and the ease of reading. First, the organization of the book is well laid out. There are bullet points to list each topic that will be discussed and then after the list, the chapter goes into detail on each point. The chapters are also organized to take the reader from the basics of the information to a point where it's detailed, but not confusing. Furthermore, the graphs, statistics, and pictures help in making the points clear. When the book mentions a specific site and how the site had a characteristic that made it look better, a picture of the site usually followed the summary. As well as the pictures, there were graphs and statistics to show the percentages of various subjects like ethnicities and the number of hours a browser was used per week. The information from these demographics can helps the reader to think of ways to enhance his own online business. Finally, the book was easy to read and easy to comprehend. Most computer-related books are very difficult to read because of the acronyms and the technical words used. This book kept the paragraphs short which kept my attention and didn't go into an extension of detail like other books. In conclusion, Marketing on the Internet is a book that can make your business soar to the top.

Gran recurso para armar una computadora 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Es un excelente manual para armar la computadora. Esta basado en las computadoras personales o PC, que son las mas populares, y por eso es muy util.

Lo recomiendo especialmente porque esta actualizado y describe con mucho detalle como poner y configurar cada componente. Tambien tiene una guia de compras, para saber que comprar y en que comercios podrian engañarnos con publicidad falsa.
