Open Source for Windows Administrators is geared towards Windows administrators interested in utilizing open source applications to help them do a more efficient job, whether they're designing a desktop or managing an FTP server. The book does not seek to replace Windows tasks with open source methods; rather, it shows how open source projects such as Cygwin, Bash, Python, Java, Ruby, MySQL, Apache, and Tomcat can be used to solve common problems. It bypasses the theory, programming, and philosophy behind a particular open source project and focuses directly on how each project can be installed, packaged, used to solve common tasks, and integrated with other business and server applications. All of the available documentation, versions, and distributions for each project are also covered in detail.
