Re: Debain admin book?
hi ya
an experienced unix/linux admin would be looking
to buy the book(s) and aking for refunds if its work related..
think you're looking for soemthing like
http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net
for debian (howto) install and get around some silly hw problems...
.. some url ..
for debian security stuff
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/
configure your sources.list (correctly) and magic happens :-)
rest of the *nix stuff is fairly generic
c ya
alvin
- tons of linux books... too many tree's been sacrificed... :-)
