    Most titles on Linux administration focus on the configuration of a single box. LAH was the first title in this area to focus on the administration of a Linux system in a production environment. Linux Administration Handbook examines how Linux systems behave in real-world ecosystems, not how they might behave in ideal environments. The Second Edition incorporates the changes in Linux systems in the past 18 months, which include current versions of RedHat, SuSE and Debian systems, new topics like Logical Volume Manager, X11 basic administration and Nagios.
