The UNIX System Administration Handbook is an attempt to condense everything that a system administrator should know about UNIX® into a single, easy-to-use volume. Topics are organized in the sequence that they are likely to be employed. It can be used as a tutorial and as a reference book.
The authors emphasize the rationale behind the UNIX® system and present a hands-on approach. The authors encourage all tasks to be done right the first time. They also provide a detailed understanding of why each system administration task is important.
