Summary: Linux Expert's Book
Comment: Linux System Administration AUTHOR: M Carling, Stephen Degler, James Dennis PUBLISHER: New Riders REVIEWED BY: Barbara Rhoades

BOOK REVIEW: This book reminds me of a college text. You read and read until the information sinks into your brain. There are no side notes or tips or examples. This is a book where the reader should have a solid knowledge of Linux and what they want to do before buying it.

Linux System Administration contains: a 7-page Content, an 11 section Appendix, a 40-page Index, front and back cover have flap extensions for marking you page, and print that is fairly easy to read. Anyone who already has a grasp of Linux will find this book useful.

Summary: resource only
Comment: I was very disappointed in this book. It does superficially go over topics but no depth; it does at the end of the chapter however, give references to get further information. I find I keep looking in my other Linux books to understand how to use the commands mentioned in the book. Your money is better spent on other system administration books. To find out which ones, just read the "further readings" at the end of the chapters and the end of the book!

Summary: More managerial than Technical
Comment: After read this book book, I found many managerial strategy that we need to apply on administering system (Not just LINUX). I got many idea on administering system from this book and applied it (also for NT). I think this book is good for someone who want to do system administrator job. For more technical information you still need to read Linux Howto and other references.
