The Best of Hack and

Linux Admin Crash Course

Beschreibung

Kyle Rankin wrote a monthly column titled "Hack and /" for Linux Journal magazine for almost 12 years starting in their January 2008 issue until Linux Journal closed for good on August 7, 2019. The column aimed to provide useful tips and tricks on topics ranging from system administration to security to 3D printing to VIM. After he published his final farewell article for Linux Journal, one of the most common questions he got was "what's going to happen to the giant archive of articles?" He realized he had a whole book's worth of material just in sysadmin tips alone. This book doesn't aim to be an exhaustive guide to everything you need to know to be a system administrator. Instead, this book allows Rankin to act as a remote mentor to someone starting out in IT or system administration whether as a full-time job or as a full stack developer. Think of each section in a chapter like sitting down with him over lunch or looking over his shoulder as he shows you a tip to save you time, a tool he found useful, a lesson he learned the hard way, or an explanation of how he'd tackle a project you got assigned.
