I bought a book about networking and just received it. It's a general purpose book, it taught about TCP/IP and other stuffs in an easy enough way to understand for amateur people like me. It's not for someone wanted to go professional. I saw various CCNA books but I just don't like them so I choose this one.
I think if it's about network it's must be Linux. It turned out to be wrong. The book used Windows Server 2003 as the teaching environment! And it's no refund. I think I lost money now.
Will I setup a Windows Server 2003 VM to practice with this book? Absolutely no!
BTW, I saw the commands to have tools with the same name on FreeBSD machine, e.g: nslookup, route,...
I heard people said the Windows network stack is derived from FreeBSD. Could I use my FreeBSD machine to practice the examples on the book?
I don't want to waste money. The book is not cheap at all.
