Customer Reviews

Good Reference for Linux

The text was clear and well-organized. I found that this book generally was better at explanations that other books I have read.

A very good summary of system administration.

I found this book to be very practical. It does not cover every single topic in detail so if you are looking for a detailed reference check the man pages. But if you have not had a lot of experience administrating Linux or a network this book is great. By the time you are finished you will have a secure Linux box with a minimum of hassle. I love the book.
