UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook

This book is bound well, the print is clear, and the paper quality good: it should last well with use. It is a very good general reference for Linux users. It is an updated book with many competent contributors and I recommended it. If you only get one book about Linux you could not go wrong buying this one.

Pro: utile, chiaro dettagliato in molti argomenti. Contro: forse avrei approfondito un poco di più alcuni aspetti (docker, kubernetes). Sintesi: lo ricomprerei.

Very fast delivery; the book arrived in good condition. Content-wise, the book might not be for beginners, but for those who have proficiency in Linux, that book is the bible. It covers not only Linux but adjacent concepts involving Linux, such as virtualization, CI/CD, and cloud. I highly recommend the book and the vendor.

It's great reference. It gives a practical guide to most of the commom problem, Also specific information for popular Linux destro like Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL.

Easily the best tome on the technical and practical aspects of Unix & Linux, and it's up to date if you purchase the latest edition. This book is aimed squarely at admins, developers, managers of Unix-Linux shops and apps. It's not a tutorial; it's a comprehensive study of the Unix-Linux architecture and every facet of that subject. Additionally, the author's have an established sense of humour about their area of expertise, that makes for some interesting reading, to say the least. If you're already an IT Pro or you're a student heading for a career in the business, you'll want this title close by for a long time. And if you're tired of plowing thru search engines and thousands of snips/pages, and the sometimes arcane 'man' pages from your distro, this book is going to give you the organization that you'll retain for a long time. Well worth the high price; it's just so inclusive as to plow many other publications on the same subject, into the ground. And if you're strictly a Linux user, that doesn't matter; this is your reference. You don't always need to read the chapters in sequence. This book is written so each chapter can almost stand on its own as a separate publication based on the material it covers, though the authors are generous in their inclusion of cross-references to other chapters covering related material. Get it before it goes out of print. If the paperback copy is too pricey to fit your budget, don't forget that the Kindle edition at half the price, (for which you don't require a standalone Kindle reader), can also be stored and read on Amazon's web site for convenience and portability, as part of your purchase.
