Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Admin Skills

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Admin Skills Review



Here you will learn the core skills required to install, configure, and manage RHEL 5, that is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The book provides you with several unique benefits.

Unique Benefit: RHEL Compared To SLES.

If you are an existing SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) Admin, then you will enjoy how each chapter compares RHEL to SLES. You will find that many of your existing SLES skills transfer to RHEL.

Unique Benefit: Command-Line Focus.

Instead of focusing on RHEL-specific GUI Admin Tools, each chapter shows the command-line way of doing admin. Experienced Admins know that doing admin from the command-line gives you: (1) a deeper understanding of how admin really works; and (2) gives you Admin skills that work on many GNU/Linux distributions, not just RHEL.

Unique Benefit: Step-By-Step Commands.

Each chapter shows, step-by-step, how to perform the Admin commands. You will see the exact commands that are executed, including the output of the commands.

If you are a beginning admin, the many examples provide you a way to rapidly learn new skills.

If you are an experienced admin, the many examples provide a quick refresh or reminder of skills that you already know.
