Thanks! I have and love the Nemeth et al book, but it's nowhere near specific or advanced enough. For example, just to name a few things I've had to look up recenytly: there's only about a paragraph on grub.conf, nothing about setting up different types of network bonding on ports, and almost nothing on kernel tuning parameters. I need the RHEL- specific details. And man pages are not my favorite reading. We keep reading this stuff on random blogs but I'm about ready to RTFM.
(We've still got a fair amount of RHEL5 but all our new infrastructure is RHEL6) Thanks, Betsy (Almost done with Solaris....) > On Feb 13, 2014, at 9:14 PM, Richard Pieri <[email protected]> wrote: > > Betsy Schwartz wrote: >> Also wondering if you have any book recommendations. > > "UNIX System Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth, et.al., in its various > editions are the best general sysadmin texts out there, especially for those > who find themselves dealing with or migrating between different UNIX flavors. > > "Essential System Administration", the Armadillo Book from O'Reilly, is > number 2 on my list. > > Red Hat's documentation for RHEL4 is largely applicable to RHEL5.
