K. SOME USEFUL TEXTS & SOFTWARE

K.1 The Novell Companion

The author is Jon Johnston. I don't recommend the book to experienced administrators with large networks, but it is a good read for somebody new to LANs or NetWare who doesn't want to read the whole set of red books. I have some disagreements with his recommendations, but I understand them and the reasons behind them, and while I did find a few errors in the book, I've seen a lot worse. Publisher is WEKA Publishing, 1-800-222-WEKA in the USA.

K.2 LAN Connectivity from New Rider Publishing

Not Novell-specific, but provides wide coverage of the various topologies, etc., and includes sections on NetWare, Lan Manager and Banyan Vines which are interesting reading. Basically, it's a Networking Technologies course in book form.

[Thanks to David Gersic for these two titles]
