Full Description
Learn to be a Linux SysAdmin and an expert user of the Linux operating system, even with no previous Linux experience.
This third edition of the popular and highly rated Linux self-study training course has been fully updated to Fedora Linux 43 with expanded and revised content, figures, and experiments. This course will prepare you to manage complex systems with ease and equip you for a new career.
This second volume builds upon what you learned in the first and requires the virtual network and virtual machine created there. You'll see how to manage and monitor running processes, discover the power of the special filesystems, monitor and tune the kernel while it is running - without a reboot. You'll then turn to regular expressions and the power that using them for pattern matching can bring to the command line. You'll learn to manage printers utilizing the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) web interface and driverless printing in this completely revised chapter. Unlock the secrets of the hardware on which your Linux operating system is running.
Experiment with command line programming and how to automate various administrative tasks, networking, and the many services that are required in a Linux system. Use the logs and journals to look for clues to problems and confirmation that things are working correctly, and learn to enhance the security of your Linux systems and how to perform easy local and remote backups. Explore the BtrFS filesystem and why it's not right for many use cases.
