Review: The Best Linux System Administration Book Ever Written

[@Aaronstotle]

I'm trying to learn Linux on my own (Philosophy Major) and your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you for making this channel ! :D

[@archanakumari4532]

Were you able to learn it?

[@dev5276]

Why philosophy major?

[@kamilziemian995]

I hope that you are now GNU/Linux master. 😀

[@ganymedeshortride]

Thank you for the recommendation. You saved a lot of of hours by putting some clear video of 10 mins. Keep doing great job. Have a nice day!

[@themightywrighty]

I brought Unix and Linux System Administation Handbook when you recommend it a previous video. It's really good read. Gives you a nice overview of everything.

[@georgec6405]

This is the book my school made me buy for my sysadmin class. Good to know they suggest good material.

[@amardeepkumar5547]

Ur linux tutorial are really helpful, thanku for taking out ur time and making such a beautifully documented step by step tutorial.

[@stevencoto834]

yep started this book about a month ago and so far it is way different, and easier to read

[@petefranklin4258]

Wow, this sounds as useful as I found "Running MS-DOS " to be 32 years ago. Retired 64 yr,old newbe. Thankx!.

[@laffytaffykidd]

I love your voice and the way you explain material.

[@Gxnnelle]

Just bought this book but the 5th edition. Let’s see

[@kamilziemian995]

Thank you for your video. 😀 I now reading Andrew S. Tanenbaum "Operating systems. Third edition" (I know that it is now quite old), I hope that in the future I will read "Unix and Linux System Administration".

[@tutoriaLinux]

That's a really cool book -- it's the Minix one, right?

[@watsot2]

Thanks for all the videos- I've been using Linux either for work or at home for about 8 years, but these help to reinforce some forgotten info and bring to light some "newer" technologies (tmux rocks!). I was wondering if you planned on creating a video that went over Linux firewalls with iptables, their importance with Linux hardening (which likely requires a video in and of itself), and a case example or two of their setup. Perhaps one for a standard home user who is just accessing the internet for various media, and one for someone who has a LAMP server. Either way, keep up the great work! (PS, I own and have read *most* of U&LSAH, and know it talks about iptables with a case example, but the details are still a little fuzzy)

[@tutoriaLinux]

That's a great idea. I haven't really done any Networking videos -- I just feel like it's a huge topic and I'd need to really plan it out well to make it work. Not saying I'll never do it, but just that I need the time to do it *right.* iptables is one of those complex, janky things that I learn to be good at when it's part of my job every day, and then as soon as I move onto some other specialized area for a few months, it's gone. For what it's worth, I find that BSD's 'pf' (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) firewall does not have this problem -- it's simple and intuitive (not to mention powerful)

[@TheAfreitag]

Thanks for the recommendation, I just bought the book.

[@amornchotsingh3977]

Any reviews on Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment by Stephen A. Rago or The linux programming interface or Advanced Linux Programming By Mark Mitchell, Jeffrey Oldham, Alex Samuel? I'm considering buying these books, please let me know what you think of them :)

[@medi7573]

I read few pages of it didn't like it that much .but i would recommend The Linux Programming Interface .

[@NotForLong]

Dude I love your videos, great help

[@Scarletpimpanel73]

Great book - I used it to transition from Windows to Linux/Unix Admin.

[@gregoryschilkowski6706]

Thanks for the videos, I just got my copy of the book, and starting reading it, really good... Do you recommend any good books for beginning programming in Python? and also Ruby? Thanks for your awesome videos please keep them coming when you can!!!

[@tutoriaLinux]

The official Python documentation is *amazing!* There are a ton of basic tutorials out there. I also created a basic Ruby tutorial here: kzbin.info/aero/PLtK75qxsQaMJ0MEkOr0b99tMi_wADKRqR -- try it on for size!

[@elim9054]

Is the 4th edition still useful enough in 2021? I know it's not the most current edition, but I found it on a secondhand book site for $10 which is a fraction of what the 5th edition costs atm.

[@tutoriaLinux]

Absolutely! The 5th edition has some new content around containers and the major cloud providers but the 4th is still extremely relevant. Absolute steal for $10

[@elim9054]

@@tutoriaLinux Great, I've bought it. I appreciate the fast reply!

[@sammygun84]

Hi man thanks great information. I want to ask you if i like security in linux what should i learn what, books can i read?

[@tutoriaLinux]

I'm honestly not a security expert, the last time I seriously dabbled in security was like 2014. A LOT of things have changed since then. Maybe I can do an interview with some security engineers at some point and ask them.

[@zinzintheking]

bro, do you think that if i complete all your linux basics courses here on youtube, i'll be able to understand your course on Udemy? because i checked them there and i feel like they are a lil bit too technical for me as of now!

[@tutoriaLinux]

The course on Udemy actually requires less knowledge than what I show here, so you don't even have to complete all the stuff I've shared here before you start at Udemy (link in description). If you do the basic command-line videos that I've made on KZbin, you should be okay to start on the course there. If anything is unclear, there's a Q/A section where you can ask me questions, and I'll be happy to make sure you're confident that you understand things.

[@zaheersk1478]

just few days back i complete my rhel 6.5 after that i want to learn more about linux so pls help me.tell me what is next book to learn more about linux

[@tutoriaLinux]

Great! Forget books for a little while, do some fun projects! Set up a website or a blog, install Mattermost (like Slack/Hipchat) and host it for friends, pick a cool open source project and help out for a bit! Once you have basic Linux skills, doing projects is the only way forward.

[@zaheersk1478]

can u help me

[@davidedwards8480]

I see a new edition (the 5th) listed on Amazon for pre-sale. No word on when it is actually going to be released.

[@tutoriaLinux]

:-o!!! Thanks for the heads-up; I'll *definitely* be getting that, if it's legit. Weird that Evi Nemeth's name is on there, since IIRC she was lost at sea.

[@Nowlala]

@@tutoriaLinux THEY PUT THE NAME AS A TRIBUTE

[@zer0err0r]

its the best book to read after finishing The Linux Command line

[@younguno8817]

actually just started with this book about a week ago... Coincidence?

[@iqtp3880]

I don't think so...

[@wrecklass]

Now in it's Fifth edition, just for folks coming by later.

[@tutoriaLinux]

Yep! I also did an interview with one of the authors here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaHadWZ4nLCgZ9U -- I also have a review of the new version that calls out a bunch of the stuff they added/removed. Cheers!

[@jose-lael]

The lead author went missing at sea over 3 years ago. So there might not be another edition.

[@tutoriaLinux]

Yeah, RIP Evi :(
