This book makes it easy for small to medium–sized businesses to enter the world of zero–cost software running on Linux and covers all the distros you might want to use,including Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS. Authors take a layered, component–based approach to open source business systems, while training system administrators as the builders of business infrastructure.
One of the strengths of the book is that it contains lots of places for readers to find information that allows them to take the next step in developing their skills. We don't assume we're going to teach people everything and we want them to develop and grow beyond the knowledge we impart in the book.If you want to implement a SOHO or SMB Linux infrastructure, Pro Linux System Administration clearly demonstrates everything you need. You’ll find this book also provides a solid framework to move forward and expand your business and associated IT capabilities, and you’ll benefit from the expertise and experienced guidance of the authors.The book starts from choosing your system to installing and describes basic system administration and commands. This is grounding for the rest of the book. Where possible we point to the similarities of operating systems,such as the conceptual parallels between Linux and Microsoft Windows, and provide links to further reading where needed.Each chapter in the book builds on the previous in a layered and relatively linear way. It is this layered approach that we feel sets this book apart from other Linux System Administration books.
