 Operating System Linux Beginning Ubuntu Server Administration: From Novice to Professional
|
 This book provides a complete introduction to Ubuntu Server. I’ve written this book for people who are new to Ubuntu Server administration. The target readers are Windows administrators as well as people who are used to managing other flavors of Linux (or UNIX). It was the goal of this book to give a no-nonsense introduction to working with Ubuntu Server, and so this book should provide all the basics that are needed to get you going. It also includes many useful tips that help you in doing your work in a more efficient manner.Many books about Ubuntu are presently available, but you can’t do Ubuntu Server justice by covering both the desktop and the server version in one book. The needs of a server administrator are incredibly different from the needs of a desktop administrator. So I’ve chosen an approach that makes sense for the server administrator, and all topics are selected and organized to make sense for your day-to-day work as a server administrator. The book starts by describing Ubuntu Server with a special focus on storage configuration, which is an especially important concern when dealing with server environments. After that, you’ll find a quick introduction to driving Ubuntu Server from the command line, in case you haven’t done this before. The third chapter tackles some of the common generic tasks of a server administrator, including managing software packages and configuring a graphical user interface. Next are chapters about file system management, Ubuntu Server security, managing processes, and the boot procedure. The last chapter dealing with stand-alone server functionality explains Bash shell scripting: in fewer than 30 pages, you’ll learn everything you ever needed to know about this complex topic. The second part of the book teaches you all about network services. First, you’ll learn how to configure and troubleshoot a network interface. Next, you’ll read how to set up infrastructure services such as time services, name services, and DHCP. Following that, you’ll find chapters about managing file services, the Apache web server, and related packages such as MySQL. Finally, the last chapter provides an overview of the approaches to running virtualization on Ubuntu Server. Download free ebook for linux: Beginning Ubuntu Server Administration
