Wondering what this audio course covers? Then take a look on this page.
The audio presentation is divided up into 10 CDs. Each CD is divided into a number of tracks, each about ten minutes long. We've cross-indexed the tracks and subject description to the slide numbers printed in the Audio Companion. So, for example, if you wanted to re-visit the subject of how split-brain DNS works, then you'd listen to track 4 on CD disc number 3. The accompanying PowerPoint slides in the Audio Companion would be numbers 103-104.
This table of contents also appears in the front of the Audio Companion.
