In the world of Unix operating systems, the various BSDs come with
a long heritage of high-quality software and well-designed
solutions, making them a favorite OS of a wide range of users.
Among budget-minded users who adopted BSD early on to developers of
some of today's largest Internet sites, the popularity of BSD
systems continues to grow. If you use the BSD operating system,
then you know that the secret of its success is not just in its
price tag: practical, reliable, extraordinarily stable and
flexible, BSD also offers plenty of fertile ground for creative,
time-saving tweaks and tricks, and yes, even the chance to have
some fun.
"Fun?" you ask. Perhaps "fun" wasn't covered in the manual that
taught you to install BSD and administer it effectively. But "BSD
Hacks," the latest in O'Reilly's popular Hacks series, offers a
unique set of practical tips, tricks, tools--and even fun--for
administrators and power users of BSD systems.
"BSD Hacks" takes a creative approach to saving time and getting
more done, with fewer resources. You'll take advantage of the tools
and concepts that make the world's top Unix users more productive.
Rather than spending hours with a dry technical document learning
what switches go with a command, you'll learn concrete, practical
uses for that command.
The book begins with hacks to customize the user environment.
You'll learn how to be more productive in the command line,
timesaving tips for setting user-defaults, how to automate long
commands, and save long sessions for later review. Other hacks in
the book are grouped in the following areas:
Customizing the User Environment
Dealing with Files and Filesystems
The Boot and LoginEnvironments
Backing Up
Networking Hacks
Securing the System
Going Beyond the Basics
Keeping Up-to-Date
Grokking BSD
If you want more than your average BSD user--you want to explore
and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up
with fun things to try on your own--"BSD Hacks" is a must-have.
This book will turn regular users into power users and system
administrators into super system administrators.
