Linux is the bomb, it is the OS that runs and runs and runs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful survey of interesting software & technology *by A***R on May 27, 2007* I've just finished reading O'Reilly's latest GNU/Linux title, LinuxSystem Administration (full disclosure: I was sent a reviewer's copy).Bottom line up front: it's a handy introduction for the beginnerGNU/Linux sysadmin, and a useful addition to an experienced sysadmin'sbookshelf.The book is essentially a survey of various Linux system-administrationtasks: installing Debian; setting up LAMP; configuring a load-balancing,high-availability environment; working with virtualisation. None of thechapters are in-depth examinations of their subjects; rather, they'reenough to get you started and familiar with the concepts involved, andheaded in the right direction. I like this approach, as it increasesthe likelihood that any particular admin will be able to use thematerial presented. I've been working with Apache for almost a decadenow, but I've not done any virtualisation; some other fellow may haveplayed with Linux for supercomputing, but never done any web servingwith it; we both can use the chapters which cover subjects new to us.I really like some of the choices the authors made. A lot of GNU/Linux'administration' books focus on GUI tools--I've seen some which don'teven bother addressing the command line! I've long said that if oneisn't intimately familiar with the shell--if one cannot get one's jobdone with it--then one isn't really a sysadmin. Linux SystemAdministration approaches nearly everything from the CLI, right from theget-go. Kudos!The authors also deserve praise for showing, early on, how to replaceSendmail with Postfix. In 2007, there's very, _very_ little reason to useSendmail: unless you know why you need it, you almost certainly don't.Postfix is more stable and far more secure.Another nice thing is how many alternatives are showcased: Xen & VMware;Debian, Fedora & Xandros; CIFS/SMB & NFS; shell, Perl, PHP & Python andso forth. One really great advantage of Unix in general and GNU/Linuxin particular is choice--it's good to see a reference work whichimplicitly acknowledges that.The authors are also pretty good about calling out commonpitfalls--several got me, once upon a time. It'd have been nice to havehad a book like this when I was cutting my teeth...Lastly, I liked that the authors & their editor weren't afraid to referreaders to books from other publishers, in addition to O'Reilly's(uniformly excellent) offerings. Not all publishers would be soforthright; O'Reilly merits recognition for their openness.The book's not quite perfect, though. I wish that PostgreSQL had atleast been mentioned as a more powerful, more stable (and often fasterin practice) alternative to MySQL, and one doesn't actually need toregister a domain in order to set up static IP addressing. Still, theseare pretty minor quibbles.I'd say that the ideal audience for this book is a small-to-mediumbusiness admin who'd like to start using Linux, or who already is butdoesn't really feel confident yet. It covers enough categories that atleast a few are likely to be relevant. Even an experienced admin willprobably find some useful stuff in here. ### ⭐⭐⭐ More in the description than in the book *by S***S on May 14, 2007* I was a little disappointed with the book. I was looking for something lower level and comprehensive, more like "Essential System Administration". While this book is useful, it is not as useful as some others. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linux System Administration: Solve Real-life Linux Problems Quickly - Linux Network Administrator's Guide: Infrastructure, Services, and Security --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9534230-linux-system-administration-solve-real-life-linux-problems-quickly](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9534230-linux-system-administration-solve-real-life-linux-problems-quickly) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
