Carla Schroder is a self-taught Linux and Windows sysadmin who laid hands on
her first computer around her 37th birthday. Her first PC was a Macintosh LC
II. Next came an IBM clone--a 386SX running MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.1 with a
14-inch color display--which was adequate for many pleasant hours of Doom play.
Then around 1997 she discovered Red Hat 5.0 and had a whole new world to
explore.
Somewhere along the way she found herself doing freelance consulting for small
businesses and home users, supporting both Linux and Windows users and
integrating Linux and Windows on the LAN, primarily Linux servers and Windows
clients. She is the author of the Linux Cookbook for O'Reilly, and writes
Linux how-tos for several computer publications.
Carla is living proof that you're never too old to try something new;
computers are a heck of a lot of fun; and anyone can learn to do anything.

"This book is just right for the person like myself who enjoys learning by getting hands-on experience with the technology. The scope is wide and so someone with a great depth of networking experience may find that the treatments of each is a bit shallow. On the other hand, that wide scope means this book may hold something new, even for someone with some level of experience."
