Useful inforamtion in a easy to read format
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I have read may books where the author skirts around the real issue and does not answer the basic questions you had when you picked up the book. This book has lots of real world stuff in it - some of the things he talks about - I have seen and done myself! Very useful overall, with lots of useful and informative side bars.Lots of good information - low overhead!Parts of the book were entertaining to read - a hard thing to say about a technical text!
A great resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is an excellent resource for the system administrator wanting to ensure the uptime and availability of his Linux machine. Iain's writing style makes it an easy book to read, and at the same time, technical enough for the experienced Linux admins. Now that Linux is being deployed on larger machines (like IBM mainframes), reliability is a key focus, and this book does a fantastic job of covering the important areas.
This is a very different book.

I think that this would be a resource that every IT Manager should read. This books goes way beyond telling you how it works. It addresses the issues of what happens when it fails. This makes it very different from any other book on Linux out there! About time.
The Most Coverage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Maintaining 24/7 availability is critical in any server installation; this book really shows how to build in reliability and maintain systems to assure ongoing availability. The most coverage of key topics like risk analysis, fault tolerance, and recovery that I have found anywhere.
