Product Description “As this book shows, Linux systems are just as functional, secure, and reliable as their proprietary counterparts. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of thousands of Linux developers, Linux is more ready than ever for deployment at the frontlines of the real world. The authors of this book know that terrain well, and I am happy to leave you in their most capable hands.” “The most successful sysadmin book of all time—because it works!” “This book clearly explains current technology with the perspective of decades of experience in large-scale system administration. Unique and highly recommended.” “Nemeth et al. is the overall winner for Linux administration: it’s intelligent, full of insights, and looks at the implementation of concepts.” Since 2001, Linux Administration Handbook has been the definitive resource for every Linux® system administrator who must efficiently solve technical problems and maximize the reliability and performance of a production environment. Now, the authors have systematically updated this classic guide to address today’s most important Linux distributions and most powerful new administrative tools. The authors spell out detailed best practices for every facet of system administration, including storage management, network design and administration, web hosting, software configuration management, performance analysis, Windows interoperability, and much more. Sysadmins will especially appreciate the thorough and up-to-date discussions of such difficult topics such as DNS, LDAP, security, and the management of IT service organizations. Linux® Administration Handbook, Second Edition, reflects the current versions of these leading distributions:
Sharing their war stories and hard-won insights, the authors capture the behavior of Linux systems in the real world, not just in ideal environments. They explain complex tasks in detail and illustrate these tasks with examples drawn from their extensive hands-on experience. | ||

Linux Handbook You can't go wrong having this book. It has already helped me solve a couple of problems I was having with Ubuntu Linux. I am not an administrator but a home user and this book has already come in handy. It's not a bad addition to any Linux library. | ||
Great Linux Admin Book It is a great handbook. It covers all the major Linux flavors on the market. The book is easy to follow with ton of information. I recommend it. | ||
Excelent book This book is a good handbook. I am using it as part of a course of Operating Systems and C++ programing. It cover very good the main aspects that an student need to know about Linux Administrations, and is a good start point to search in a deep for specific documentation about any particular Linux topic. Similar than the Unix administration Handbook, this book explain the main aspects in the most popular Linux flavors. The authors have a complete and consistent way to cover each topic in the different chapters. | ||
A great reference This book is extremely well written and packed full of useful tidbits. It is not a collection of "HOWTOS", but rather an informative guide to Linux administration. It provides easy to understand explanations of the various aspects of the job. This is a must have book for any entry level to junior Linux sysadmin. | ||
Linux Administration Handbook This book was a gift for my son in CA who works for Yahoo. He actually had the book on his Wish List at the top! He received it for his December birthday, and loves it. I wouldn't be surprised if he has it on the plane he and his wife are in, heading for a week in Thailand. It was Greek to me, but he loves it! | ||
