The Virtual Bookcase : Shelf Computer
Reference books about computer related subjects (system administration, programming).Review:
As a how-to book, Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software covers a narrow but powerful niche of Web development--on-the-fly graphics generation. It also focuses on the Perl language and its associated free code modules, making the techniques you learn in this book immediately available for free. Author Shawn P. Wallace begins with a look at the popular image formats on the Web: GIF, PNG, and JPEG. This chapter offers a quick and fascinating demystification of these critical graphics file types. The next chapter discusses the dance between graphics and Web browsers, with a look at CGI, HTML display, color schemes, and other details. ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
A good book on backups, written with experience in the matter. Deals with the most important part of backups: being able to succesfully restore data and recover systems. The book also handles the difficult area of backups of databases very well, with samples of scripts for backing up most commercial rdbms systems and information on the care and feeding of a big rdbms. Handles baremetal recovery (starting from scratch with a full backup tape and an empty harddisk) and things like selecting the right backup software. This is almost required reading for system administrators of Unix setups (from one to many servers) but I would also recommend it to advanced home users who run Unix in some variant (Linux) at home. A good book!
