A no-nonsense guide for IT professionals
While Linux vendors promise
speed, efficiency, and reliability, it's the IT professionals who must deliver
on that promise. Updated to reflect all the recent changes to Linux version 2.4,
this new edition of the McKinnons' popular guide gets system administrators and
engineers quickly up to speed on everything they need to know to customize and
upgrade their Linux systems. From swap-space options, disk partitions, and
installation, through printer and video device configuration and installing and
upgrading the Linux kernel, this guide follows the highly successful,
classroom-tested approach that the McKinnons have refined during their years as
professional trainers.
Responding to the ongoing needs of IT professionals
for current and reliable information on the latest technologies, Wiley Computer
Publishing introduces the Gearhead Press titles. These books, written by
accomplished trainers in their respective fields, focus on real-world examples
and case studies to give readers the best information on leading topics.
The
Gearhead Press titles are characterized by two imprints: In the Trenches and
Point to Point-both series include fast-paced books written by fellow IT
professionals who have been there and done that.
In the Trenches books
introduce technologies, guide readers to proficiency, and serve as practical,
hands-on references after the initial tasks are accomplished. The Point to Point
titles invite readers to join an IT team at a model company and implement
technologies in real-world environments-demonstrating actual problems and
solutions.
