As an author, editor, and publisher, I never paid much attention to the competition--except in a few cases. This is one of those cases. The UNIX System Administration Handbook is one of the few books we ever measured ourselves against.
--Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media
This edition is for those whose systems live in the cloud or in virtualized data centers; those whose administrative work largely takes the form of automation and configuration source code; those who collaborate closely with developers, network engineers, compliance officers, and all the other worker bees who inhabit the modern hive.
--Paul Vixie, Internet Hall of Fame-recognized innovator and founder of ISC and Farsight Security
This book is fun and functional as a desktop reference. If you use UNIX and Linux systems, you need this book in your short-reach library. It covers a bit of the systems' history but doesn't bloviate. It's just straight-forward information delivered in a colorful and memorable fashion.
--Jason A. Nunnelley
UNIX(R) and Linux(R) System Administration Handbook, Fifth Edition, is today's definitive guide to installing, configuring, and maintaining any UNIX or Linux system, including systems that supply core Internet and cloud infrastructure.
