About this title

Synopsis:

Debian GNU/Linux does not try to be easy to install, but rather focuses on straightforward administration with robust, flexible, and proven tools. The Debian system is an operating system designed to follow your agenda, rather than expecting you to keep up with it. The solid, straightforward, and reliable base system causes more and more people to trade currency for stability and maturity by choosing Debian GNU/Linux.

This book introduces the concepts and techniques you will need to know to successfully administer the Debian system. In addition to examples and common pitfalls, it explains just why the Debian developers chose certain approaches over others. As you learn about the motivations behind the Debian solutions, you get an idea of the level of experience and sophistication that has flowed into the various system components, and you learn to embrace their elegance. This book aims to be the resource on Debian GNU/Linux, as well as an enticing companion on your path towards advanced Debian administration.

While targeted at the well-versed Unix or Linux administrator as well as current users of Debian GNU/Linux, this book makes an excellent resource alongside a standard Linux reference to bootstrap your Linux experience in Debian's bottom-up philosophy.
