Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Administrating a network for a large number of users is a complex undertaking. Although there is plenty of online documentation to help a Linux adminstrator, it is scattered all over the internet and many times it is not in-depth enough. Linux System Administration Survival Guide goes beyond basic network operating system knowledge to understanding the whys and hows behind the administration process. The book takes you through job responsibilities and planning to implementation and performance monitoring. You get a hands-on guide to setting up and administrating a network as well as a reference guide that for troubleshooting tips and techniques. This book shows you how to seamlessly incorprorate Linux into your current system. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, appeals on many levels, not too techincal., June 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux System Administrator's Survival Guide (Paperback)
I can't recommend this book enough for up-n-coming Linux system administrators. Dr.Parker starts at the low end of the technological spectrum but continues expanding, allowing you to grow with the book. I may have to buy a new copy mine is so tattered from reading and re-reading! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book but now dated, August 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux System Administrator's Survival Guide (Paperback)
Excellent info. Really needs to be on every bookshelf. Unfortunately it's a bit dated now and needs a new edition. Why this is out of print baffles me.
