Book Recommendations Linux, Tomcat and Apache

[Glyn]

Hi,

I'm looking for any book recommendations that will help me with a deeper understanding of Linux, Tomcat and Apache. 

In evaluating Railo I have learned a lot in the setup on these plalforms, but I still don't feel conformable (more so if something went wrong).

I'm not new to cfml so I'm unsure if Railo 3 Beginner's Guide would help on these subjects.

Any recommendations would be welcome :)

Hi Rick

I am not sure books are the best way to go in understanding Linux, Tomcat and Apache (together) since (I think), you can get a number of books on Linux itself, tomcat has documentation as well as Apache too. 

This group is responsive to issues (well at least in my opinion) but maybe people don't have a book they recommend? I wouldn't say that answers back to one general (and slightly OT) question paint the group as unresponsive. 

Now, with regards to the Railo Book (well, I did write it, so I remember some of what is in it) it does show a lot of stuff that is different in railo compared to CF. That was it's intention, although there are a couple of chapters that you might just skip, or at least read to find out what Railo does differently (or has different features you might like) 

It does cover installation and administration too.

Wow, no replies since August 5th, huh?
Not a very responsive group.  I'm monitoring the group
for just such issues, as I'm considering switching to Railo.
Community help (as with CF-Talk) is a must for beginners...

@Rick this group has been very responsive on issues ascertaining Railo and installation, maybe this post was a little off topic. Since the post I have found lots of guides on Linux and even had a ago myself (http://www.cfcoffee.co.uk/index.cfm/2012/8/10/Amazon-Linux-running-Railo-40-Install) while asking many questions.

I have been very impressed with Railo and the community so far. Rick, you will have no issue that someone won't address (unless its badly explained). As an example, I found an bug with the Railo installer on Amazon, it was fixed and a update pushed the next day! now that's dedication. The Railo team are good, but there seems to be a lot of very dedicated users that write and help too. I'm very thankful for this.
