Debian GNU / Linux 2 1 Unleashed promises to the book I was looking for, especially if they 2nd Question 2 in the fully functional version back in the fall of ‘99. Debian has the theme of some radical (X, FHS, etc.) were and I wanted to know what was happening. Since the Debian team constantly pressed for the release of 2 2 back, I suppose the editor (defined on a CD-ROM) has finally decided that it is easy to make “2. 1″ and call it a day.
luck, this book deals with a slightly more like the Debian version number does not depend on a hill of beans. This is the typical Linux 1000 + page book with the word “Debian” on the cover. Chapter after the other UNIX ®, X, editors (WordPerfect? Hardly appropriate …), server, a variety of programming languages and all the UNIX commands is weird, we know and love, but information specific to Debian about these tools is at best patchy .
It would not be so bad if, after the intersection on a standard UNIX, the authors took the time to explain how and why Debian implements this issue as he did. In most cases they do not do it. Most of this text would have been ripped straight from “Using Slackware Linux” book that I bought in 1995. Have
A classic example is totally inadequate chapter on e-mail. Debian Exim as the MTA level. But “DG/L2. 1U” contains 11 pages and 8 pages Sendmail listar (listar?). There is a mention of Exim in the book that says basically, will install Debian Exim as the default MTA. I think it’s up to you to figure out how to configure them. p> “DG/L2. 1U spends” about 95 of its more than 1000 pages of topics Debian, including dpkg, make-kpkg Debian bug tracking system, the installation of Debian, Debian and Free Software principles. But that’s all. Really.
If you know very little about installing Linux or Unix and Debian want, you may want to buy this book. Or do you want to buy another, it will play no role.

After receiving this book, I have about 3 hours looking through most of its aspects. I must confess that I do not ever see this book re ever in a bookstore (and with half an hour “test” IT). My first impression was: “It is too big, so I preferred to buy” Learning Debian GNU / Linux “by O’Reilly (which you can find, of course, Amazon
. Then, so that some sort of Unix / Linux Collector Books, I changed my original idea and convinced me to buy one too. IMHO, I think the book is great (and not just in size!): 1) if you are a beginner in Linux and 2 it) a kind of “Linux will have Compendium”, I mean, a talking book arguments Shell Programming Java Debian packages (something) to Samba, and so on. A sort of “all-in-one”, but of course all these arguments with a Linux system (also an encyclopedia of Debian GNU / Linux) should be taken for at least 6 volumes of this type. If you are a beginner I suggested that I have an other, already mentioned. If, like me, you interested are (I think that you are interested in depth) in Debian Linux, window manager and a programming language (like Perl) you can buy at least 3 other books (one) for each discipline, the official Debian distribution to, and the Debian-donation category. PS Sorry for my English …

I came into the Unix users, because it never had a day in my life. I thought it was an introduction execllent can not for a new user – a book all things to all people. But the installation guide was great in the sight of someone who has never touched a Linux installation. I agree with the above commentators. . . She deserves to be a little more in depth with the Linux kernel daemons like Apache and Sendmail. I believe that the article about samba is exceptional, but was a little confused when it comes to the entire section on networking and BIND. A bit less on programming with Python and TCL, and a little more about the common tasks of the administrator has the whole day.
But I think it is an ideal introduction, and it was safe enough that I had a box and running without too many headaches.

Do not let “2. 1″ rule for the Linux version does not really make a difference. This book covers a wide range of topics from scripting to C, Java, Python file-sharing Internet services and others. The strength of this book is the range of things he covers. Another strength is that reading is usually very easy to follow and easy for a beginner. You do not know what you do a lot to learn. Chapter Samba is fine in the sections on troubleshooting and everything. Chapter shell script is also nice.
The downside of this book is that nothing is really done in detail. For example, the chapter on the shells, some differences between the C shell and bash shell are, which was good. But there’s nothing really on the controls themselves. In some ways, this book can not decide whether beginner or advanced. The chapter on Internet services (httpd, NFS, etc.) are really easy. But the chapters on things like Java, Python, Tcl are more advanced.
I think the book is best suited for beginners. There are a variety of information clearly written, all in one book. It is a very good book, with some limitations.

I was more or less forced to learn Linux for my work. This was the 1st Book, which I bought on Debian Linux and I learned a lot about Linux.
The book has a great job, starting with the basics of advanced Linux server administration. There was also a very interesting section on securing your Linux server.
With the help of this book, I succeeded in a Web / Intranet / ftp / mail server from my workstation. I recommend this book.
