Don't just cope with your mixed-environment problems - solve them. Maximize productivity and lower costs by strategically combining the strengths of Linux and Windows. Leverage Windows resources from Linux, and Linux resources from windows. Meet all your remote and terminal connection challenges with the right solutions. Why not have the best of both worlds? For all those who talk of a war between Windows and Linux, there are others-like yourself-who ask, 'Can't we all just work together'? As "Windows & Linux Integration" demonstrates, it's possible, and a lot easier than you think. It doesn't matter whether you know Windows better than Linux or vice versa. This book shows you how to make the most of Linux in a Windows environment, and the most of Windows in a Linux environment. Written by two industry-recognized experts, one from the Windows world, one from the Linux world, they will guide you with practical, hands-on instruction and detailed examples that show you how to get the job done.
