I'd like to look at one of those books. Does the book lean toward the 
Window$ side of the equation?

Not hugely, to my surprise. The first half of the book is about
networks, not about hosts. Later they talk about some specific
scenarios, including linux. But you would have to come to terms with
owning a book with MS screenshots in it, since one chapter details how
to set up a 802.11* on a Win2000 server.

That sounds perfect. I expected to see Window$ in the book. Having 
GNU/Linux in it is luxury. I'm guessing that the book also contains Mac 
OS info. Those three would cover the OSes of "regular" computer 
users. I'm just glad the entire book doesn't use Window$ to illustrate 
security issues.
