Setting
up and maintaining a Linux server requires understanding not only the
hardware, but the ins and outs of the Linux operating system along with
its supporting cast of utilities as well as layers of applications
software. There's basic documentation online but there's a lot beyond
the basics you have to know, and this only comes from people with
hands-on, real-world experience. This kind of "know how" is what we
sought to capture in Linux Server Hacks. Linux Server Hacks is a
collection of 100 industrial-strength hacks, providing tips and tools
that solve practical problems for Linux system administrators. Every
hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours of searching
for the right answer. Some of the hacks are subtle, many of them are
non-obvious, and all of them demonstrate the power and flexibility of a
Linux system. You'll find hacks devoted to tuning the Linux kernel to
make your system run more efficiently, as well as using CVS or RCS to
track the revision to system files. You'll learn alternative ways to do
backups, how to use system monitoring tools to track system performance
and a variety of secure networking solutions. Linux Server Hacks also
helps you manage large-scale Web installations running Apache, MySQL,
and other open source tools that are typically part of a Linux system.
O'Reilly's new Hacks Series proudly reclaims the term "hacking" for the
good guys. Hackers use their ingenuity to solve interesting problems.
