If you're an experienced system administrator looking to acquire
Linux skills, or a seasoned Linux user facing a new challenge,
"Linux System Administration" offers practical knowledge for
managing a complete range of Linux systems and servers. The book
summarizes the steps you need to build everything from standalone
SOHO hubs, web servers, and LAN servers to load-balanced clusters
and servers consolidated through virtualization. Along the way,
you'll learn about all of the tools you need to set up and maintain
these working environments. Linux is now a standard corporate
platform with users numbering in the hundreds of millions, and
there is a definite shortage of talented administrators. "Linux
System Administration" is ideal as an introduction to Linux for
Unix veterans, MCSEs, and mainframe administrators, and as an
advanced (and refresher) guide for existing Linux administrators
who will want to jump into the middle of the book. Inside, you'll
learn how to: set up a stand-alone Linux server; install,
configure, maintain, and troubleshoot a DNS server using BIND;
build an Internet server to manage sites, perform email and file
transfers, and more; set up an email service for a
small-to-medium-sized site, complete with authentication; install
and configure Apache, PHP, and MySQL on a web server built from
scratch; combine computers into a load-balanced Apache web server
cluster based on the free Linux Virtual Server; set up local
network services from distributed file systems to DHCP services,
gateway services, print services, user management and more; use
Linux virtualization with Xen or VMWare to run multiple kernels on
one piece of hardware; manage each kernel's access to processor
time, devices, and memory; create shell scripts and adapt them for
your own needs; and back up and restore data with rsync, tar,
cdrecord, Amanda, and MySQL tools. "Linux System Administration" is
not only knowledgeable and practical, but convenient. The
ingredients for this book had been scattered throughout mailing
lists, forums, and discussion groups, as well as books,
periodicals, and the experiences of colleagues. Everything is now
in one handy guide. In the course of their research, the authors
also solved many problems whose solutions were completely
undocumented. They now pass their lessons on to you.
