You will find complete coverage of all major system administration topics:

• Linux versus UNIX
• Installation tips and tricks
• Working effectively with the Linux command line
• Organizing and working with system users
• Disks, file systems, backup, and restore
• The inner workings of X and the graphical desktop
• Configuring and using scanners, CD-Recordables, and other devices

• Kernel building and renovation
• Scripting and automation
• Network administration, electronic mail, and Web services
• Integrating Windows with Linux
• System logs and accounting
• Security and firewalls
• Performance monitoring and tuning

Using standard Linux tools (PostgreSQL, Apache, Perl, and more) this book will help you deploy a feature-rich corporate intranet featuring online discussion groups, bulletin boards, a company phone directory, and a document center. You will also learn everything you need to know to install a complete electronic mail and Internet gateway solution for your home or office on a single, shared connection. In addition, numerous anecdotes from the trenches, examples of techniques to try, and plenty of experience-based advice bring important concepts to life.

Written with good humor and enthusiasm for the profession of system administration, as well as a deep appreciation for the power and flexibility of Linux, Linux System Administration will teach you the tricks of the trade, guide your efforts, and serve as a definitive and comprehensive reference.
