About Carla Schroder

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.

What people are saying about Carla Schroder's books:

"As a dba, I'm constantly looking to learn more about networking and
system administration. Both can have quite an impact on the performance of
my piece of the puzzle. A welcome addition to the materials to help me
learn about networking is Carla Schroder's Linux Networking Cookbook. 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."

"In her book, Schroder delivers exactly what she promises: recipes for
creating tasty and useful Linux and TCP/IP networking setups...Not only
did Schroder clearly explain how to use RIP and OSPF, but she also set out
in a way anyone could understand when it's better to use one over the
other. She also did an excellent job of explaining one of the greatest
pains ever faced by a Windows/Linux network administrator-getting Linux
systems to work with Active Directory...Schroder writes in a very
straightforward and clear manner. When things get complicated, and they
always do in networking, she sticks to the main thread while pointing you
toward other chapters or documents, as needed, if you find yourself
sidetracked by another problem. I appreciate this. I've read too many
technical books where, in trying to give you all the information you might
need, the writer ends up losing me in the details...If what you want is a
clear guide to using Linux open-source software to create solutions for
such common network requirements as creating a Linux-based Wi-Fi access
point or modem server, using SSH (Secure Shell) for network management or
making a firewall, this book is for you. It is one of the best practical
guides I have ever had the pleasure of reading on making real-world
answers to Linux networking requirements. "
