Reader Reviews
This review is from: Linux System Administration Black Book: The Definitive Guide to Deploying and Configuring the Leading Open Source Operating System (Paperback) Whether you are a newbie to Linux, or recompile Linux Kernels to run your blender in your sleep, this book is for you. The book is huge (686 pages not counting appendix or index pages) and contains no fluff anywhere, pure information on User Account management, installation & configuration, DNS, Apache, NFS and other "basic" services, shell scripting, building RPMs, hell... everything from Apache to Zeus is in here. The topics are well presented, no glossing over things just to say they are included, but rather indepth and compotent coverage of each area. My only gripe is that it is a bit too RedHat (and RH Clone) centric. Not enough coverage of my personal favorite Distro (Debian). Other than that one small personal dig, this is a great book, and sits on my desk next to about 4 other books I use daily. I want to congratulate the author, Dee-Ann has done a great job compiling and melding alot of different and obtuse information and presenting it in a means that is easy to follow, understand, and most importantly, FIND what you are looking for. I cannot say it enough, if you run Linux, this book is for you.
