Enterprise Linux at Work

As the first operating system to seriously take on Windows, Linux is in use at major
corporations like Xerox and Kodak, and top-tier vendors like Intel and IBM are helping
transform Linux into a viable system for the enterprise market. Now, with this
down-to-earth, real-world book, popular Wiley author Stephen Asbury dispels the myths
that Linux is a "hacker's" system and provides programmers and developers with 10
enterprise-ready applications. Asbury shows how to: build a Linux firewall, integrate
Linux with Beowulf, create LDAP and other directories, use MySQL for database
programming, build Java applications and messaging servers, and much more. For each
application, the book clearly lists all the tools required, discusses exactly what knowledge
is assumed, and then demonstrates step- by-step the entire building process.

CD-ROM contains complete code for all 10 projects as well as MySQL, Red Hat Linux,
and Beowulf software.
