Features: This book is the new version written specifically for Linux by the author, following the classic work UNIX System Administration Handbook in the field of UNI management technology. The authors continue their consistent writing style and still introduce Linux system management technology into three aspects. The first part "Basic Management Techniques" introduces various management knowledge and techniques involved in running a single-machine Linux system, such as system boot and shutdown, process control, file system management, user management, device management, system backup, driver and kernel configuration, as well as the management and use of cron and system logs. The second part "Network Management Techniques" starts with a detailed explanation of the basic principles of the TCP/IP protocol, delves into the two major network applications—Domain Name System (DNS) and routing technology—and then explains various Internet key applications on Linux, such as sendmail, NFS, and web hosting. This section also includes dedicated chapters on network hardware, network management and debugging, and system security. The third part "Other Management Techniques" covers multiple important topics: Linux package installation and customization, printing systems, system maintenance and environment, performance analysis, handling Windows issues, system daemons, and knowledge related to policies and administration.
