Amid the hype I somehow missed out on the vital piece of information that the reason I was looking to use Linux was actually to use Samba...

Anyway, this book took a Linux newbie, admittedly an MCSE, through the process of turning out a production quality Primary Domain Controller for Win9x and NT clients, and providing these clients with a rock solid file server, print server and WINS server.

You will need a few days to work through the book but this has already become a standard reference for me alongside Mark Minasi's "Mastering NT Server".

This is the book that any NT professional really needs if they want to get a running start on using Linux/Samba on their network.
