My experience of the animal books is that they're better than the average, but still tend to provide too much detail (which goes out of date), and which in any case is better learned from manpages. | |

| Jun 24, 2014 at 13:10 | comment | added | Norman Gray | I wouldn't describe VPNs as 'the basics'. Increasingly common, yes, and once one has a secure understanding of levels, routing and all that jazz (which of course I have), not to hard to understand. But I wouldn't class them as basic (but each to their own). | |
