Summary: The best book on my shelves!
Review: At last, a book that delivers what the computer public want. Most books (all that I have) start off by giving a history of the product and introducing you to the basics for about 70% of the book. Then the rest barely touches on what you want to know. This book gives a couple of chapters about Linux and installing the operating system, then goes right into the good stuff. It even has a quick "How To" section right at the front of the book, which directs you to the chapter with the information. This is the only book that I have from 24 Seven, but it most certainly won't be the last! Also, the book is very seldomly on my shelves, as I am always reffering to it.

They should have more stars available just for this book! :)

Summary: Well done all around linux administration book
Review: Following on the the advice of other users here, I purchased this book hoping for some much-needed assistance in building & running my operation.

This book is an indispensible, concise tome on the common-sense science and art of Linux system administration. Any serious server system builders, maintainers, administrators, and programmers should get this book and keep it near by.

Summary: The correct information fast!
Review: I bought this book after reading the reviews. It is a good book but found that the author has not explained various Linux functions in detail. I think that this book is for advance users of Linux and not for beginers or intermediate. I found "Red Hat Linux 6 Server" by Mohammed J. Kabir to be better informative. I do plan to read this book again in six months and hope that I understand it better.

Summary: This isn't how I've ever seen a Linux server setup.
Review: I have several books on Linux but I found this one the most useful. In the beginning when I run my Linux network server, I was in a hassle as it was not easy to follow the documents of Linux, they were so fragmented! However, this book guided me how to step my step familar with Linux. It was so clearly written that it could make a beginner become an expert after finishing the whole book! Now, I placed it near my Linux server for my daily reference. I suggest people who are uncertain of how to start reading this book!

Summary: Number 1 for a Reason!
Review: I've been working with Linux now for 2 years i started off with redhat and now prefer slackware. I would say that i am now pretty proficient with linux, and i achieved this proficiency through reading the how-tos that came with linux, and from sunsite.. You'll find, if you're new to linux, that no book will ever be _THE_ book for linux, ive read a few allegedly good ones, to which readers had given quite good rates to. However i found them all to be useless when it came to getting some real-world stuff done. All these books are the same, they're all for the beginner, and even if you think of yourself a beginner i guarantee that you'll outgrow these books within 2 weeks! So the best thing is to read the How-Tos, trust me theyre really useful, and help you in REAL-WORLD problems!

Summary: Good primer for beginners, but will not get you all the way!
Review: If this was the only book on Linux, you would eventually figure out how to get a server working, however your server would not survive long in the real world, the section on sendmail is poor, and any real "issues" are avoided by simply not mentioning any real world problems, there are much better Linux books - Email me for a list !

Summary: Very good book, only one spot.
Review: The book is really a good one. It explains difficult concepts with simple, clear and effective language. The only spot in the book is the uneffective tutorial on sendmail, the mail server of Linux. I think more space and resources should be dedicated to sendmail subject. Anyway this book is another proof of the excellent writer named Craig Hunt.

Summary: Very helpful for normal people
Review: This book isn't for "experts". This book is for normal people who want to more fully utilize their Linux systems, and not get swamped in arcane details most people don't need. It's also a great reference for "experts" who _don't_ remember every last detail of every server they are likely to run, forever and ever. - This book is *very* nicely done!

Summary: Great Server Setup and Configuration Book
Review: This book was amazingly insightful and easy to read. This book is not a "How to use Linux" book, but how to configure a SERVER. The author gives a lot of opinions and personal experiences to make the lessons more understandable. Its a solid reference manual for quick lookups of info, but how the author crafts his chapters from install to maintenance is amazing.
