Linux for System Administrators

Hello again everyone! This month’s post is about an awesome book I just got my hands on related to the Linux operating system.  It’s authored by both Viorel Rudareanu & Daniil Baturin. And is published by Packt, who’s got a huge line of great books and content. I’ve decided to write up a quick review of the book for anyone that interested in learning Linux or increasing their Linux OS skills.

What will this book teach me?

This is a great book for anyone that is new to Linux and would like to further their skills. Yes, it’s also great for intermediate users, who are looking for Linux best practices, as well as advanced skills such as server virtualization and Linux system security.
