Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-03 00:00:00 Lisa Dalterio It's hard for me to say enough good things about this book. Limoncelli and Hogan's comprehensive coverage of computer system and network administration is nearly breathtaking. Their viewpoint is high enough that they don't get embroiled in the nitty gritty of shell scripts or configuration files, but not so high that it devolves into pure abstractions. You're out of luck if you want cool sendmail tweaks or you're looking for a comprehensive philosophy of computers or management'but if you're a working sysadmin or IT manager, this book is worth some serious study. The book is broken out into three major sections: Principles, Processes, and Practice. The book's companion web site lists the table of contents, so there's no sense repeating it here. Some of the chapters were expected, like "Disaster Recovery and Data Integrity." Others, like the one on managing "Namespaces" were pleasant surprises. The focus of each chapter is what needs to be accomplished, the processes helpful to achieving the goal, and the dangers that might be encountered. The discussions contain a mixture of exposition, lists, and case studies. The expositions can be long, but I've found them engaging, with very few wasted words. Chapters conclude with a section called "The Icing" that gives some direction for growth after the basics are covered. There's little evidence that this book was rushed to press; the writing, editing, and layout are top-notch. These days, I tend to reach for this book whenever it's time to launch or re-examine an IT service. When all is said and done, my only real fear is that my supervisor might find my copy and read it. Then he'd have a really good grasp of all the things I haven't done so well…

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 Scott Waggoner Книга для меня показалась из разряда: Ну я же и так знал что и как делать, зачем менять учить? Но когда приходит отвественный момент - обо всех описанных в книге советах можно забыть. Советвую читать в процессе организации структуры дц, охлаждения, серверов в дц, построение структуры ПО и организации сервисов на тех или иных серверах.
