Features: Qualified system administrators know that Linux servers are high-performance systems that route large amounts of information through network connections. Establishing and maintaining Linux servers requires understanding the deep details of the Linux operating system, as well as support for a wide range of tools and application software at various levels. You will see basic online documentation, but much of the knowledge goes far beyond the basics, and only those experienced system administrators with practical experience know it. This "know-how" is what you gain from Linux Server Hacks. Linux Server Hacks collects 100 industry-leading Hack techniques, providing tips and tools to help Linux system administrators solve practical problems. Each topic can be read in minutes, but it takes hours to provide the correct answer. Some Hack techniques are very subtle, and some are even little-known, all of which prove the power and flexibility of Linux systems. You will find many tools to tweak the Linux kernel to make the system run more efficiently, use CVS or RCS to track the versions of system files, and use monitoring tools to track system performance. This book also helps you manage large-scale web sites running Apache, MySQL, and other open-source tools, which are often part of the Linux system. This book is written for users who have mastered the basics of Linux. The author truly knows what they are doing, and it is on this foundation of professional expertise that the book Linux Server Hacks was written.
