There's so much buzz about peer-to-peer these days, it's hard to separate facts from fiction. How do the peer-to-peer companies stack up? Which technologies are credible, and which will shake up our notions of how people use computers? More importantly, how do you see through the hype to the underlying architectures that yield opportunities for creating lasting value? The 2001 P2P Networking Overview from O'Reilly Research is a comprehensive look at peer-to-peer from business and technical perspectives. We describe the state of the industry and offer our opinions about where it's going to go next, with hard data to back us up. What you will find in the report:Company profilesIn-depth explanations of the underlying technologiesP2P services: present and futureAnalysis of the hype: what the press gets wrongEstimates of mindshare and community sizeOur forecasts for the fieldAbout O'Reilly Research:In O'Reilly's book publishing business, web sites, and conferences, we've become famous for providing no-nonsense, in-depth information and insights about important technologies.

Using UUCP and Usenet shows how to communicate with both UNIX and non-UNIX systems, using UUCP and cu or tip. It also shows how to read news, post your own articles, and mail to other Usenet members. This handbook assumes that UUCP and Usenet links to other computer systems have already been established by your system administrator.Clear enough for a novice, this book is packed with information that even experienced users will find indispensable. Take the mystery out of questions such as why files sent via UUCP don't always end up where you want them, how to find out the status of your file transfer requests, and how to execute programs remotely with uux.Topics covered include:
<ul>
<li>Introduction to UUCP communications.</li>
<li>Copying files with UUCP.</li>
<li>Remote command execution.</li>
<li>Sending mail to distant users.</li>
<li>Checking on UUCP requests.</li>
<li>Remote login with cu or tip.</li>
<li>Extending the UUCP network.</li>
<li>Reading and posting news.</li>
<li>Many useful appendices.</li>
</ul>

The Mosaic Handbook for Microsoft Windows describes how to navigate the World Wide Web using Mosaic, the graphical interface designed at NCSA.Mosaic is designed to navigate the hyperlinks that connect the systems on the World Wide Web. Using Mosaic's point-and-click interface, a user can move from document to document, viewing text, graphics, video, audio, or the combination of any of these media, without having to worry about where that information is located. The Mosaic user gains access to the information on thousands of Internet servers found all over the world with no greater knowledge than is contained within the pages of this short book.Until recently, the Internet was largely a UNIX phenomenon. A user needed to know a different tool for each operation (s)he wanted to perform, and each tool had its own obscure command-line interface. For the most part, where the tools displayed information at all, that information was text-based.Mosaic has changed all that. In addition to its interface to the World Wide Web, Mosaic provides a graphical interface to most Internet utilities, like FTP, Gopher, Archie, Veronica, and WAIS. Users no longer need to know UNIX to perform common tasks on the Internet. This book describes how to use Mosaic to accomplish these tasks.A chapter in the book introduces the reader to HTML, the hypertext authoring language used by WWW documents. The reader will learn enough about HTML to create his/her own home page, thus becoming a potential information provider on the WWW! This book also explains how to customize and extend Mosaic to allow, for example, the use of other viewers and browsers.The book includes two diskettes containing Spyglass™ Mosaic™ V1.0 for Windows (with forms support) and a subscription to the Global Network Navigator ™ (GNN ®), the leading WWW-based information service on the Internet. Unlike the public domain version of this software, Spyglass Mosaic is a fully supported commercial product. Spyglass is a trademark of Spyglass, Inc.

UUCP, a UNIX program with a long history, remains interesting even today because it is a simple way to share resources and transfer files from one computer to another. It runs over dial-up lines with a minimum of overhead. UUCP became popular because of its use by the Usenet, but it remains popular today because it works well on small systems with limited resources. The proliferation of PC-sized machines in small offices and homes, especially those that run the Linux operating system, has caused a resurgence of interest in UUCP.This book combines material about UUCP formerly contained in two other O'Reilly &amp; Associates books, Using UUCP and Usenet and Managing UUCP and Usenet. UUCP and Usenet are sufficiently separated now to make it inefficient to discuss them both in the same book. On the other hand, it now makes sense to combine information about using and managing UUCP in one volume, because on PC-sized systems, the user and the manager of UUCP are likely to be the same person. With this book, everything you need to know about UUCP is in one volume.Using &amp; Managing UUCP contains up-to-date information about HoneyDanBer UUCP (officially called Basic Networking Utilities or BNU). It also contains product-specific information about the UUCP implementations of the major UNIX vendors. More important, Using &amp; Managing UUCP covers Taylor UUCP, a new implementation that ships with Linux distributions. So this book is of special importance to the growing number of individuals running Linux on their home or office computers.
