The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet (1987)
- res0nat0r 13y agoI remember picking up the Whole Internet Users Guide in high school in the early 90s when I became seriously interested in the Internet. One of the first books I read on the subject. Ah memories.

- PaulRobinson 13y agoI remember Ed Kroll's books from the early-mid 1990s when I first started getting online. Clearly they didn't date well, but his books along with the "Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook" (I had the red one, not sure which edition), set down the foundation for me. Off the back of those I ended up going down a path as a Senior Engineer at one of the UK's largest ISPs and then getting back into development in the Internet industry ever since. I owe a lot to Ed Kroll, amongst many others. Great to see this released through PG.
