Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Nice

⭐I love learning.

⭐Another great book in a great series. Even if you are not a novice, this series is outstanding because it is filled with references and pointers to great resources!

⭐Great Item…

⭐This book is very out-dated and very repetitive. I was disappointed.

⭐I had no idea that this book was so old, I did not know that they sell books this old. Had I known I would have never bought the book.

⭐This seems to be a very good book, but not especially easy. I found it helpful to read “PCs for Dummies” before reading this.

⭐very outdated. only worth a quick glance.not very informative and very repetive

⭐Warning! contains standard poorly thought out geek humour. It’s not funny at all, but you can skip the more overtly back-slappy passages and get on with your firewall building. The tome “Building Linux and BSD firewalls” elsewhere on Amazon actually contains humour that works. Revolutionary, to say the least. This’ll do though.

⭐I find all the “something or other” for Dummies well written, well informed and well presented. Recommended very highly indeed.

⭐Excellent!

⭐good book
