So you have to work with UNIX, huh?
Get this book. Shhh... no... don't talk any more ... I was installing UNIX systems back before you were born.

I read this book cover to cover and skimmed very little. My goal in reading this book was to sharpen my Linux skills and it helped me do exactly that. Though this book enjoys high average ratings everywhere it appears, I stayed away from it thinking that it would be filled with mundane tutorials on how to set up printers and plug in keyboards. It turned out to be a comprehensive and fun overview of Linux from the viewpoint of a System Administrator. I mean it when I say it's fun--the authors' se...more

I did not read this book cover to cover (it's 1344 pages long!) but I've read enough (600+ pages) to say that this well known book is a bit overrated to be honest. Even though it's so long, it never goes into enough detail into each of the topics. It's an indispensable and must-read book if you want to understand how major parts of Linux works in a general sort of way, but I've found that actual sysadmin tasks required me to read other in-depth specialized books

A long hard read, touches a large number of topics that one may encounter in a career in Computer Science without going into too much detail. A must read to get a quick overview of concepts ranging from basic linux fundamentals to VMs & Containers.
Like most technical books, this is not something I will read once and set aside, but rather use as a reference over and over (I am not a systems admin, but a motivated end user). Even though I haven't yet read it through I'm giving it five stars; the parts I have read are thorough, relatively easy to understand, and sprinkled with a pinch of humor--something that helps an otherwise dry subject matter go down easier, so to speak. Definitely recommended.

It took me three months and my whole Goodreads reading list had to be adjusted to accommodate this mammoth resource but every single day was worth it! I am overflowing with superlatives for this book. I hardly skipped any sections. It was just loaded with the comprehensive information on system administration. It has definitely upgraded me from a complete Linux hobbyist and monkey into a fairly competent IT-savvy professional. I see myself keeping this book in my Kindle device as some sort of re...more

One of the greatest books for every sysadmin.
not designed to teach you how to run Linux in your basement.
this book is targeted to larger system deployments and real world large systems.

Clearly one of the best book to learn about systems administration. A must read for anyone who wants to try this field or anyone that just started their career.

Very comprehensive, but at the same time accessible. First chapters can be used as an intro to *nix to get a better understanding of how things work.
Jun 17, 2017Dmytro Shteflyuk rated it really liked it · review of another edition
A pretty long book about everything about *nix. A little bit outdated, but most of the stuff is still relevant. Keep in mind that it does not go into details, instead, you will get a general overview and some basic understanding of all the systems (it looks like the book is touching everything admin-related you can imagine) and practices, but then you will have to find another source for the juicier stuff.

Glad that this book is up to date, with new editions that contain information on things like Cloud computing, containers, devops, but also still about basics like performance tuning, logging, monitoring.
Dec 28, 2018Pierfrancesco Aiello rated it really liked it
The book is a collection of pointers about a topic (each topic being a chapter, like configuration management). Each chapter exposes an overview of a topic, plus some good hints formalized from experience and then provides a list of books to read to go in depth in the topic.
Great resource. I need to buy this one as a go to reference

Best guide book ever written.This is the bible for System Administration.
Was a fantastic read. Needs to be updated though. But it's a great, great book. A classic in every sense of the word.

Fine, but a bit outdated book for starting linux administrators.
If you spend all day ssh'd into Linux machines, this is the book you need. Nemeth and team did it first, and they did it best. Don't waste your time on other UNIX books.

The definitive reference book for doing admin work on Linux.
Everything from the kernel to high-level architecture is contained in these thousand-someodd pages. There is no better way to transition from amateur to expert. Old hands will appreciate the advice on contemporary tech (Kubernetes, Cloud, DevOps) while novices will find the index far more helpful than digging through StackOverflow.
Recommended to anyone working with Linux.

Excellent and practical handbook full of examples. I use this book as reference quite often, because it have a good structure and gives me a big picture of a subject.
Aug 15, 2014Kawai rated it it was amazing
It's a comprehensive guide to the operating system(s), written in an approachable and concise style. The explanations and examples are typically illustrative without being too complex, making the material useful for both the beginner and the expert.
If the book has one downfall, it's that the organization of the chapters is convoluted in places (mirroring the Linux filesystem itself, haha)--for example, early chapters on booting and system considerations therein recommend that the reader move FOR...more

I've got to be honest in saying that I did not read this cover to cover, but instead, scanned over it to get a general working knowledge of what I would need know to work in systems administration. If you have no idea what linux administration entails, then this is a good start. You can take each subject further supplemental reading and research.
Perfect book on Linux/Unix administration (although BSD is missing, not very important, we have Michael Lucas).
Very detailed (1300 pages), personal experiences shared on various topics and nice humor :)

Если перефразировать Льва Николаевича - все хорошие учебники похожи друг на друга. Четко и понятно объясняют сложные темы, юмор, задания и прекрасный список литературы. Круто

“It might seem that security should gradually improve over time as security problems are discovered and corrected, but unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. System software is growing ever more complicated, hackers are becoming better and better organized, and computers are connecting more and more intimately on the Internet. Security is an ongoing battle that can never really be won.” — 1 likes
“Fire Fighting Although helping users with their various problems is rarely included in a system administrator’s job description, it claims a significant portion of most administrators’ workdays. System administrators are bombarded with problems ranging from “It worked yesterday and now it doesn’t! What did you change?” to “I spilled coffee on my keyboard! Should I pour water on it to wash it out?” In most cases, your response to these issues affects your perceived value as an administrator far more than does any actual technical skill you might possess. You can either howl at the injustice of it all, or you can delight in the fact that a single well-handled trouble ticket scores as many brownie points as five hours of midnight debugging. You pick!” — 0 likes
