<h1><a id="MyReviewOfOReillysLinuxServerHacks"></a>My review of O&#39;Reilly&#39;s <q>Linux Server Hacks</q></h1>
<p>This is a wonderful book put out by O&#39;Reilly. I&#39;ve thumbed through a few of their <q>Hacks</q> books, and like the series very much. The book&#39;s webpage is [here <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsvrhack/index.html">http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsvrhack/index.html</a>], and you can read a few sample tips on that page.</p>
<p>I&#39;ve read most of the book, and find myself using it often to check a command or syntax for some project I&#39;m working on. To me, a book that gets referred to is better than a book that I read once and don&#39;t touch again for years.</p>
<p>I found that the book is useful in that many of the tricks I&#39;d heard about and wanted to learn how to do seemed to be collected in one place for me in an easy-to-read format. I know a fair amount about Unix in general, but I aspire to become a better sysadmin. In fact, the guys I look up to and want to emulate seem to know and use many of the techniques explained in this book. I know it sounds corny, but the hacks in this book seem to be exactly the type of tips I&#39;ve been looking for. I know there are other books (and free sites on the web) available, but in my opinion, this book is well worth the cover price.</p>
