Synopsis
How Linux Works describes the inside of the Linux system for systems administrators, whether they maintain an extensive network in the office or one Linux box at home. Some books try to give you copy-and-paste instructions for how to deal with every single system issue that may arise, but How Linux Works actually shows you how the Linux system functions so that you can come up with your own solutions. After a guided tour of filesystems, the boot sequence, system management basics, and networking, author Brian Ward delves into open-ended topics such as development tools, custom kernels, and buying hardware, all from an administrator's point of view. With a mixture of background theory and real-world examples, this book shows both "how" to administer Linux, and "why" each particular technique works, so that you will know how to make Linux work for you.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Whether you're a systems administrator or a home user, you need to understand how Linux internals work before you can really master Linux - how it boots, how networking works, how to customize the kernel, and even what hardware to buy. How Linux Works contains the kind of information normally handed down from wizards knowledge that comes from years of experience doing things the hard way. But instead of seeking the right incantation to make your system work, you can read How Linux Works to see how to administer Linux and why each particular technique works. This book covers such need-to-know topics as: How Linux boots, with coverage of boot loaders and init How networking, interfaces, firewalls, and servers work How development tools and shared libraries work How the kernel manages devices, device drivers, and processes, and how to build a custom kernel How the Linux printing system works, with sections on cups, filters, and Ghostscript How shell scripts work With its combinatio. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003005183
