As this book shows, Linux systems are just as functional, secure, and reliable as their proprietary counterparts. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of thousands of Linux developers, Linux is more ready than ever for deployment at the frontlines of the real world. The authors of this book know that terrain well, and I am happy to leave you in their most capable hands.
-Linus Torvalds The most successful sysadmin book of all time-because it works!
-Rik Farrow, editor of ;login: This book clearly explains current technology with the perspective of decades of experience in large-scale system administration. Unique and highly recommended.
-Jonathan Corbet, cofounder, LWN.net Nemeth et al. is the overall winner for Linux administration: it's intelligent, full of insights, and looks at the implementation of concepts.

Since 2001, Linux Administration Handbook has been the definitive resource for every Linux (R) system administrator who must efficiently solve technical problems and maximize the reliability and performance of a production environment. Now, the authors have systematically updated this classic guide to address today's most important Linux distributions and most powerful new administrative tools.
The authors spell out detailed best practices for every facet of system administration, including storage management, network design and administration, web hosting, software configuration management, performance analysis, Windows interoperability, and much more. Sysadmins will especially appreciate the thorough and up-to-date discussions of such difficult topics such as DNS, LDAP, security, and the management of IT service organizations.
Linux (R) Administration Handbook, Second Edition, reflects the current versions of these leading distributions:
Sharing their war stories and hard-won insights, the authors capture the behavior of Linux systems in the real world, not just in ideal environments. They explain complex tasks in detail and illustrate these tasks with examples drawn from their extensive hands-on experience.

Book Overview: The first edition of this book became known for its thorough and lucid coverage of some of the toughest topics in system administration, including DNS, sendmail, and security. The new edition will focus on many open source tools that have gained acceptance since 1/e was published, including Nagios for network monitoring. Most titles on Linux administration focus on the configuration of a single box. Linux Administration Handbook (LAH) was the first title in this area to focus on the administration of a Linux system in a production environment. LAH examines how Linux systems behave in real-world ecosystems, not how they might behave in ideal environments. The Second Edition incorporates the changes in Linux systems in the past 54 months, which include current versions of RedHat, SuSE and Debian systems, new topics like Logical Volume Manager, X11 basic administration, and Nagios. Chapters on system admin policy, bind, sendmail, and security have been updated.
