Now I can stop bugging him. Hi Do you require any additional proofreaders? If so, where can we signup? Cheers Tom. This is great news! The time I read it, it was a life saver. Just for a nice read from time to time and as a reminder for some things I may forget.
I am another one in the queue for proofreader. Not a native english speaker, but rather heavy reader of mostly yours Nostarch stuff and OpenBSD and other unices sysadmin for some years…. I will be a success! Sorry to hear that you think that it might be too long- I was disappointed that the first edition was shorter than Absolute FreeBSD yes, I own that as well. Oh, and No Starch Press fits right in there as well.
Any thoughts or comments? This is awesome, the first edition was excellent. Do you have any update about the release date? I recently got into OpenBSD and wanted to get hold of a decent book on it. I was originally excited when I read about systrace and securelevel but now understand that these are not the best things since sliced bread, after all. This long-awaited second edition of Absolute OpenBSD maintains author Michael Lucas's trademark straightforward and practical approach that readers have enjoyed for years.
You'll learn the intricacies of the platform, the technical details behind certain design decisions, and best practices, with bits of humor sprinkled throughout. This edition has been completely updated for OpenBSD 5. With this book, you'll learn the intricacies of the platform, the technical details behind certain design decisions, and best practices.
This edition has been updated for OpenBSD 5. FreeBSD—the powerful, flexible, and free Unix-like operating system—is the preferred server for many enterprises.
But it can be even trickier to use than either Unix or Linux, and harder still to master. Lucas considers this completely revised and rewritten second edition of his landmark work to be his best work ever; a true product of his love for FreeBSD and the support of the FreeBSD community.
Absolute FreeBSD, 2nd Edition covers installation, networking, security, network services, system performance, kernel tweaking, filesystems, SMP, upgrading, crash debugging, and much more, including coverage of how to:—Use advanced security features like packet filtering, virtual machines, and host-based intrusion detection —Build custom live FreeBSD CDs and bootable flash —Manage network services and filesystems —Use DNS and set up email, IMAP, web, and FTP services for both servers and clients —Monitor your system with performance-testing and troubleshooting tools —Run diskless systems —Manage schedulers, remap shared libraries, and optimize your system for your hardware and your workload —Build custom network appliances with embedded FreeBSD —Implement redundant disks, even without special hardware —Integrate FreeBSD-specific SNMP into your network management system.
Whether you're just getting started with FreeBSD or you've been using it for years, you'll find this book to be the definitive guide to FreeBSD that you've been waiting for. But to truly master Linux, you need to understand its internals, like how the system boots, how networking works, and what the kernel actually does.
In this completely revised second edition of the perennial best seller How Linux Works, author Brian Ward makes the concepts behind Linux internals accessible to anyone curious about the inner workings of the operating system. With its combination of background, theory, real-world examples, and patient explanations, How Linux Works will teach you what you need to know to solve pesky problems and take control of your operating system.
