Chapter excerpt: 'Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook' an encyclopedia for systems admins

 

 This fourth edition of the Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook, just released last month, is exhaustive for new systems administrators and veterans alike -- its table of contents clocks in at 36 pages. With four editions and twenty years of content amassed since the original printing, some of the topics that the book tackles this time around include software configuration management, Windows interoperability, DNS management, network management and debugging, storage management, TCP/IP networking, and a lot more -- pretty much anything that falls under a Unix/Linux management umbrella.
