This is one of those cases. The UNIX System Administration Handbook is one of the few books we ever measured ourselves against.” ―Tim O’Reilly, founder of O’Reilly Media “This edition is for those whose systems live in the cloud or in virtualized data centers; those whose administrative work largely takes the form of automation and configuration source code; those who collaborate closely with developers, network engineers, compliance officers, and all the other worker bees who inhabit the modern hive.” ―Paul Vixie, Internet Hall of Fame-recognized innovator and founder of ISC and Farsight Security “This book is fun and functional as a desktop reference. If you use UNIX and Linux systems, you need this book in your short-reach library. It covers a bit of the systems’ history but doesn’t bloviate. It’s just straight-forward information delivered in a colorful and memorable fashion.” ―Jason A. Nunnelley UNIX ® and Linux ® System Administration Handbook, Fifth Edition, is today’s definitive guide to installing, configuring, and maintaining any UNIX or Linux system, including systems that supply core Internet and cloud infrastructure.

Whatever your role in running systems and networks built on UNIX or Linux, this conversational, well-written ¿guide will improve your efficiency and help solve your knottiest problems. Review: Great book - could do without the personality - IMO, this book is, perhaps, the best book on Linux system administration. However, I could do without all the attitude (referring to comments about systemd). I am not connected with systemd or any other aspect of Linux system development. It appears systemd is becoming THE standard. Fine. Just tell me how to use it. I'm not interested in all of the personal attitudes. systemd appears clean and powerful to me. No one dislikes Windows more than I, but their property file layout is clean, powerful, and simple. I have no problem with it. Please just stick to the facts and avoid the personalities. Review: THE Pratical Unix Gyide - Indispensable reference for beginners and gurus alike. Covers everything you need to know about managing Unix systems. Useful and straightforward concepts, procedures and references. Pros: Experienced authors writing about material they've been covering for years. Enormous amount of information, detailed instructions. Cons: BIG! Takes a lot of pages to cover everything. Would love to have some of this material available online ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #58,885 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Unix Administration #10 in Cloud Computing (Books) #11 in Linux Networking & System Administration | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 744 Reviews | ## Images ![UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QQ+KXKABL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book - could do without the personality *by B***E on February 20, 2022* IMO, this book is, perhaps, the best book on Linux system administration.
