The book covers Linux configuration files in extraordinary detail, and presents comprehensive tutorials on networking and Internet services -- including TCP/IP, routing, mail, Samba, and DNS name server configuration.

Take, for example, Sheer's discussion of the /etc/passwd file, which is at the core of user authentication. He provides a listing of a typical /etc/passwd file, then explains what each element on each line is for. This leads smoothly into a discussion of /etc/shadow, the shadow password file, and its capacity for hiding passwords behind a one-way hash algorithm.
Sheer's prose is unfailingly clear and detailed, which is good because he's chosen to omit graphics altogether (which means, incidentally, that this book focuses on the command shell--bash, to be precise--and even the chapter on X Windows lacks screen shots). Aside from a few weird typographical choices--a tiny picture of a penguin invariably follows the word "Linux" in body text--this is a faultless book. The CD-ROM contains a comprehensive HTML copy of the paper book--every last paragraph and table--appears on the disk. --David Wall
Topics covered: how to be a competent Linux user, familiar with the command line, key utilities like sed, and important related skills like C programming, shell scripting and regular expression creation. There's coverage of server software--notably httpd, sendmail and exim, and coverage of the Postgres SQL server.
