This is an outstanding book on linux. I've been a Windows system admin for over 8 years and just started looking into linux because it interested me and because as a system admin you need to have a broad knowledgebase. We were in need of a bug tracking system and we didn't have the money or time to purchase one. It was suggested to me that we look into bugzilla and a little more than 1 week later with the help of this book and the bugzilla documentation I was able to setup redhat 7.3 running apache and bugzilla. This book was invaluable in my short learning process. While there is no way i can call myself a linux admin(YET!) I can say this operating system has found another convert. I can see myself using it in other mission critical areas. My favorite command from my last exploit with linux.


find bugzilla -print | xargs chown apache
