The Debian Administrator's Handbook, Debian Jessie from Discovery to Mastery

by Raphaël Hertzog, Roland Mas

Accessible to all, this book teaches the essentials to anyone who wants to become an effective and independent Debian GNU/Linux administrator.

It covers all the topics that a competent Linux administrator should master, from the installation and the update of the system, up to the creation of packages and the compilation of the kernel, but also monitoring, backup and migration, without forgetting advanced topics like SELinux or AppArmor setup to secure services, automated installations, or virtualization with Xen, KVM or LXC.

[Michael Hicks · Rating 3 out of 5]

too generic on some topics, like setting up security, or at least would've been helpful with examples or links to resources.
this book would be more helpful if it was a complete walkthrough with labs or examples that could be built on by previous chapters.

Good read, although some topics aren't covered deeply enough, as for me.

Za dużo ogólników, za dużo przeklejonego outputu z konsoli, za mało czystej wiedzy. Ale lepszy rydz niż nic.

Great reference material, although it swings between too basic and too complex sometimes.
