Linux Administration Handbook

Abstract

This book is divided into three large chunks: Basic Administration, Networking, and Bunch o’ Stuff. Basic Administration presents a broad overview of Linux from a system adminis- trator’s perspective. The chapters in this section cover most of the facts and tech- niques needed to run a stand-alone Linux system. The Networking section describes the protocols used on Linux systems and the techniques used to set up, extend, and maintain networks. High-level network software is also covered here. Among the featured topics are the Domain Name System, the Network File System, routing, sendmail, and network management.
