Author: Charles Hayes:

This curriculum design and

instruction is for the Linux

administrator who must

efficiently solve technical

problems and maximize the

reliability and performance

of a production environment.

It addresses today's most

important Linux distributions

and most powerful new administrative

tools. It spells out detailed best

practices for every facet of system

administration, including storage

management, network design and

administration, web hosting,

software configuration management,

performance analysis, Windows

interoperability,m and much more.

Systems administrators will expecially

appreciate the thourough and up-to-date

subject of such topics such as DNS, LDAP,

secrutiy, and the Management of IT service

organizations:
