Sybex - Linux Power Tools.




Linux
Power Tools by Roderick W.
Smith ISBN: 0-7821-4226-5,
656 Pages, June
2003


This book is
written for experienced Linux or
Unix users who want to take their general
know-ledge of Linux to the next level.
You should have already read a more introductory
Linux book, such as Vicki
Stanfield's and my Linux System
Admi-nistration, 2nd Edition
(Sybex, 2002).Alternatively, you
might have gained knowledge in Linux or
Unix through other means, such as
reading web pages. Whatever the case, you now want to move
beyond using a GUI environment's basic
tools or every server's default configuration.



Of course, this book can't cover specific
servers or subsystems in any great depth, so if you want to
learn about a specific tool, such as
Apache or sendmail,
you might be better off with a book on that topic. Instead,
this book brings greater depth to a wide array of
Linux system administration and use topics.



Like many OS's,
Linux can be employed in a variety of
environments. It can be a desktop OS in
a home, a workstation in an office, or a server in a business.
Linux users are equally diverse, but
many of the needs of these users are the same. This book aims
to cover these common needs first, but it also includes
information relevant for specific user types. For instance,
configuring fonts is a high priority for those running a
desktop system or workstation, but it is not very important
for most server administrators. Optimizing network
configurations is more important to them. This book includes
information on both fonts and network optimizations.
