Technical in this sense means lots of moving parts, and in a great many cases, a part has its own configuration file that controls its behavior. The wrangling of all these parts and their associated configuration files are not for those faint of heart. This book covers the administration of those parts in pretty good detail, better than most. The truth is that there are not that many books that cover Linux server administration, and sadly, those that do are lacking in details and examples. I find examples to be the main key to success, as the administration of a Linux server is done mostly at the command line. This book will not only get you started, but gives you a pretty good push out of beginner and into intermediate levels of administration. This book covers the main distros of Linux servers, i.e. RHEL, Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuse. Review: This is one of the better Linux Admin books out there - This is one of the better Linux Admin books out there. The author does a great job of giving the reader enough information for a vast number of Linux topics/tools. It is a beginner's book in the sense that for many subjects, there are tons of other resources you have to look into to really master or get a deep level of knowledge. The author makes a note of this and also suggests further reading. The person that gives this 1 star "Warning - The title is a lie." couldn't be more wrong about the book. The author explains from the very beginning that there are certain assumptions being made about the reader and even if these assumptions are wrong, the material in the book is still great for guiding a beginner level Linux admin. One of my favorite chapter is chapter 9 'The Linux Kernel'. I will def keep this book close by. If you have absolutely no idea what Linux is, an argument could be made for picking up a more introductory type of book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,680,108 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #75 in Linux Servers #188 in Network Storage & Retrieval Administration #235 in Linux Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 66 Reviews | ## Images ![Linux Administration: A Beginner’s Guide, Seventh Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FyWB0RwFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonably Comprehensive *by T***S on July 10, 2024* Might be a bit intimidating for an absolute beginner, but then Linux network administration is extremely technical.

The newest version of the book offers coverage of Amazon Web Services and Docker. I appreciated the author sharing helpful tips from his own experience to save reader's time. For example, in the installation chapter, he recommends placing a limit on the TMP directory size to avoid hacking attempts at filling up the server's drive. I had a misbehaving open source program that spammed my TMP directory with log files and partial downloads, and this tip saved me from having my server become unavailable because it couldn't perform any write actions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/22515522-linux-administration-a-beginner-s-guide-seventh-edition](https://www.desertcart.in/products/22515522-linux-administration-a-beginner-s-guide-seventh-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
