4.0 out of 5 stars
Should have been called "Cfengine",
By Ugo (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Automating UNIX and Linux Administration (Paperback)
Most of the book is about Cfengine, so if you're only looking at automating tasks on 1-3 servers, you may end up using only 1/3 of the book. But I must say the content is relevant and well written.

By Ing. Antonio A. Gallardo R., MSc. "Antonio" (Managua, Managua NICARAGUA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Automating UNIX and Linux Administration (Paperback)
This is a good book for everyone that want to go a little bit deeper in the Linux Adminstration. In Linux distributions we often find differents solutions to address the same problem. The book can save hours deciding between using solution A or B. It include and overview of the most often used solutions with the pro and cons in some cases. For example: NFS, AFS, Coda and others.All the time the author has the security in mind and this is important for people trying to set boxes on the Internet. If you have a UNIX background that not used for a long time (10 years or so) and you need to go into the Linux server administration. This book certainly will save you a lot of time and will give you the bases to go deeper in the topics that are more important to you. If the above if not your case, I think the book is still a worth too. I will help to understand the pitfalls in Linux administrations a bit deeper. At least, but no less important, I found the book easy to read.
