Description

---

Dan Morrill fills in the gap between the simple basics covered in most texts and advanced, specialized topics; his readers gain a genuine mastery of how Linux systems are designed and come away with insight to work with any distribution, even one not discussed in the book.
The books covers detailed analyses of three popular Linux distributions, example configuration and administration tasks, and three real-world case studies.
