Synopsis:
Linux-based operating systems are extremely powerful and flexible, but unlocking that power and flexibility requires knowledge and understanding of how the systems work. Tuning and Customizing a Linux System goes beyond the mere basics of using and administrating Linux systems—it covers how the systems are designed. Through detailed analyses of popular Linux distributions, real-world case studies, and example configurations and administration tasks, you will come away with a genuine mastery of Linux-based operating systems (as well as Unix-like systems in general).
Tuning and Customizing a Linux System is geared toward users of Linux systems who already know the basics but aren't yet gurus. The author fills in the gaps left by other books, creating a bridge from the basic "how to" to the plane of true mastery. You'll find detailed examples of what a Linux distribution actually consists of, and youll explore explore three popular distributions in detail, learning useful techniques along the way. This comprehensive guide provides you with a complete, practical understanding of what's going on under the covers.

Seller: CSG Onlinebuch GMBH, Darmstadt, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Wie neu. " Gebraucht - Wie neu Zustand: Gut, Mängelexemplar, XXIV, 432 p. About this book: Tuning and Customizing a Linux System targets new users of Linux systems who already know the basics. There are a plethora of books about the basic tasks of installing, administrating, and using Linux- based operating systems (called \"distributions\"). At the other extreme, there are many books about advanced topics such as developing Linux software, modifying source code, and so forth. Tuning and Customizing a Linux System fills in a gap between these simple and advanced topics. Dan Morrill first describes what a Linux distribution actually consists of, and then explores three popular distributions in detail. This provides the reader with a complete, practical understanding of what is going on under the covers, without getting into arcane detail. By discussing three distributions, it also gives the reader an in-depth perspective into how different systems do things in different ways, which prepares the reader with insight to work with any distribution, even one not discussed in the book. Morrill also includes three real-world case studies. Readers will come away with a genuine mastery of Linux-based operating systems. Written for system administrators ". Seller Inventory # 14483
