Great Server Setup and Configuration Book

This book was amazingly insightful and easy to read. This book is not a "How to use Linux" book, but how to configure a SERVER. The author gives a lot of opinions and personal experiences to make the lessons more understandable. Its a solid reference manual for quick lookups of info, but how the author crafts his chapters from install to maintenance is amazing.

Yes! I've found it

Yes, this time I've found *the* good book on Linux. I'm a sysadmin. I know how to get the most of a Linux box. But I was always seeking for *the* book that will bring it all under my eyes. Check this: sendmail's rulesets explained in clear language. Conversion from BIND 4 to 8. Apache admin tricks. Netstat -a explained in clear. Configuring a POP/IMAP server. Lilo in detail. It'll help everybody: the newbie and the close-to-know-it-all. And it's not one of these fake RH6.1 updated books where only the cover tells about RH6.1 and the content never talks about what's to be known. Great concise book.

Brilliant for aspirant Linux server builder

For all of you out there like me who have read how to install Linux so many times, but are still confused about the step-by-step how (and why) processes for setting up a DNS server, or a mail server using sendmail, or a samba server, etc... this book is great. The author gives clear examples, and good advice. The book is easy to read, and should be one of your first buys if you are setting up a server. The author spends a lot of time on RedHat and Caldera, with many graphics illustrating the screens you would expect to see.

One stop shop for administrators

Best Linux Book out there. They have very clear explinations and none of the fluff for newbies. The cahpters get linux up and going on heterogeneous environments very quickly. Being new to linux (work on and off about three months) I was able to put up mission critical pop and samba servers in days. I have not touched them yet. Rock solid advice
