Bibliography for System Administrators
While we hope the information in this chapter provides system administrators
with guidance for many of the topics that they will need to know about, it only
scratches the surface of the capabilities of OpenLinux and the configuration
information needed to fully utilize those capabilities.
What follows is a list of books intended as further reading for system administra-
tor. Some titles provide general Linux information at a more technical level than
this guide does; others are focused on specific tasks such as setting up email or
Web servers.
CAUTION: This information is intended to be an aid to
OpenLinux system administrators--we hope you will find it
useful as you learn more about Linux and its related applica-
tions. Nevertheless, Caldera Systems, Inc. neither warrants
nor guarantees any of these titles nor the information they
contain.
