Gathered and organised here in the one book are the system administration-related papers from the copyrighted free 'Web-Based Linux Documentation Project' (LDP). This printed edition enables broader distribution and use of LDP material through books shops and educational institutions. It provides an index, comprehensive table of contents, and explanatory notes to the LDP documents and has been written by the people who created and are maintaining and evolving Linux.
The book makes long downloads of large PDF or HTML files unnecessary. The authors give detailed analysis of support and administration tasks of all major Linux subsystems. They also cover:
- Files systems
- Directories
- Boots and shutdowns
- Printing
- Network compatibility
- Network logins
- Security
- User accounts
- Data backups
- And much more
