Acompetent system administrator knows that a Linux server is a highperformance system for routing large amounts of information through anetwork connection. Setting up and maintaining a Linux server requiresunderstanding not only the hardware, but the ins and outs of the Linuxoperating system along with its supporting cast of utilities as well aslayers of applications software. There’s basic documentation online butthere’s a lot beyond the basics you have to know, and this only comesfrom people with hands-on, real-world experience. This kind of “knowhow” is what we sought to capture in Linux Server Hacks. Linux Server Hacksis a collection of 100 industrial-strength hacks, providing tips andtools that solve practical problems for Linux system administrators.Every hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours ofsearching for the right answer. Some of the hacks are subtle, many ofthem are non-obvious, and all of them demonstrate the power andflexibility of a Linux system. You’ll find hacks devoted to tuning theLinux kernel to make your system run more efficiently, as well as usingCVS or RCS to track the revision to system files. You’ll learnalternative ways to do backups, how to use system monitoring tools totrack system performance and a variety of secure networking solutions.
