Administering a Linux system isn’t much like administering a Windowsmachine. Though the goals are similar and comparable problems ariseunder both environments, they each require administrators to adopt acertain way of thinking about processes and data. Linux Administration: A Beginner’s Guidehelps readers adapt their Windows experience to Linux work. AuthorSteve Shah does a great job of clueing Linux newcomers into theenvironment. His explanations are clear, patient, accurate, and useful,and they cover all aspects of the system administrator’s job. He’scareful to explain hundreds of commands in a logical way, includinglists of options and examples of typical uses in many cases.
But this is no mere command reference or novice’s introduction. Shahdoesn’t shy away from explaining the really interesting aspects ofLinux administration, including kernel compilation, Domain Name Service(DNS) configuration, sendmail setup, and establishing firewallprotection with IP chaining. For all of these subjects (and many more),this book includes clear statements of what concepts are relevant,which commands to issue, and what to expect in response. It’s a greathelp in self-guided explorations. It’s also worth having this book onhand for work assignments–you’ll find complete recipes for configuringall major Internet and local area network (LAN) services that also takeinto account easy maintenance and security. –David Wall
