How Linux Works: What Every Super User Should Know
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.
