|
| 12 |
<p>
|
| 13 |
The purpose of this manual is to help you to administer a Debian
|
| 14 |
GNU/Linux system.
|
| 15 |

|

<p>
|
| 17 |
Administration of any Unix machine is a complex task, that is
|
| 18 |
not to be learnt overnight. Each setup is different, but there
|
| 19 |
are a number of tasks that every administrator has to perform.
|
| 20 |
</p>
|
| 21 |
<p>
|
| 22 |
This manual is intended to help you learn the basics of
|
| 23 |
administration, and to build on that to get the best out of your
|
| 24 |
machine for yourself and your users.

This manual assumes the reader is familiar with using a Unix
|
| 28 |
system and/or understands Debian User Reference
|
| 29 |
Manual. Additional reading for System Administrator is
|
| 30 |
Debian GNU/Linux Network Administrator's Manual. Both of
|
| 31 |
these are available from the Debian Documentation
|
| 32 |
Project. Another useful book is "Linux System
|
| 33 |
Administrator's Guide" by Lars Wirzenius, available from
|
| 34 |
Linux Documentation Project, http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ .
