Those of you who run networks on Windows 2000 know the benefits of using Active Directory for managing user information and permissions. You also know what a bear it can be. The newer version included with Windows Server 2003 has over 100 new and updated features to simplify deployment, but once it's in place many system administrators still find Active Directory challenging. If you're among those looking for practical hands-on support, help is here with our new Active Directory Cookbook for Windows Server 2003 & Windows 2000, a unique problem-solving guide that offers quick answers for both versions of the directory. The book contains hundreds of step-by-step solutions for both common and uncommon problems that you might encounter with Active Directory on a daily basis--including recipes to deal with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), multi-master replication, Domain Name System (DNS), Group Policy, the Active Directory Schema, and many other features. Author Robbie Allen, a Senior Systems Architect at Cisco Systems and co-author of our Active Directory tutorial, based this collection of troubleshooting recipes on his own experience, along with input from Windows administrators throughout the industry. Each recipe includes a discussion to explain how and why the solution works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations.

Из чего состоит дистрибутив Linux? Как он работает и почему? Что умеет, и как этими умениями управлять? Кто они такие, эти таинственные «линуксо- иды»? пингвины? Если писать программы, то про что их писать? И вообще— что на самом деле такое: «Linux», «Дистрибутив», «Сообщество», «Свободные программы» наконец? Обо всём этом и о некотором другом и написано во второй половине нашей книги. Раз уж приходится управлять таким сложным созданием, как пингвин, и тем более—таким сложным инструментом, как компьютер, без знаний не обойтись. Если вы не считаете поведение компьютера «предопределением природы», и хотите что-то изменить к лучшему, непременно стоит познакомиться с тем, что именно вы хотите изменить. По крайней мере, мы—разработчики дистрибутивов ALT Linux и участники Linux-сообщества—для себя решили начинать именно со знаний.

Книга В. Ю. Пирогова "Assembler для Windows" начинается с описания простых программ и заканчивается материалом об элементах системного программирования и, по сути своей, является специальным учебным курсом по программированию в операционной системе Windows. Для понимания изложенного здесь материала пользователю желательно знать языки Си и ассемблер, но это не обязательно. Так как здесь имеется большой справочник, предусмотренный для удобства работы программиста, чтобы он не терял времени на его долгий поиск в иных изданиях и Интернете. Во втором приложении находится справочник по командам микропроцессора с пояснениями.

Whether you need a network of ten Linux PCs and a server or a datacenter with a few thousand Unix nodes, you need to know how to automate much of the installation, configuration, and standard system administration. Build your network once using cfengine, and the network build will work, without user intervention, on any hardware you prefer.Automating Linux and Unix System Administration, Second Editionis unique in its focus on how to make the system administrator's job easier and more efficient: instead of just managing the system administrator's time, the book explains the technology to automate repetitive tasks and the methodology to automate successfully. Both new and seasoned professionals will profit from industry–leading insights into the automation process. System administrators will attain a thorough grasp of cfengine, kickstart, and shell scripting for automation. After reading all chapters and following all exercises in this book, the reader will be able to set up anything from a Linux datacenter to a small office network. What you'll learn See how to make changes on many UNIX and Linux hosts at once in a reliable and repeatable manner. Learn how to automate things correctly so you only have to do it once, by leveraging the authors' experience in setting up small, medium, and large networks. Set up a Linux datacenter or a network correctly. Explore handling real–world environments where not all hosts are configured alike via a case study of a fictional new datacenter buildout. Examine real–world examples for core infrastructure services (DNS, mail, monitoring, log analysis, security, cfengine, imaging) to build on in your environment. Understand core system administration best practices, which are a key part of how cfengine and automations deployments are outlined in the book. Learn how to make changes reversible, repeatable, and correct the first time through interaction with product/application stakeholders (programmers, product managers, customers, etc.). Who this book is for This book is for Linux system administrators who want to learn about the software and methodology to automate repetitive tasks-regardless of network or datacenter size-in one place. System managers will also find it much easier to think about network technology and automation projects if they read this book. This book is also for anyone who is interested in repeatable and secure infrastructure.

This book focuses on automating the tedious daily tasks of system administration. It provides real-world examples and explores the tools useful for managing 2 or 5,000 systems.

Designed for Linux newcomers, this book will teach you how to get your system up and running, including verifying proper installation, connecting to the Internet, and reproducing common Windows tasks, such as multimedia playback and office functions.

Эта книга следующая за книгой Linux From Scratch. Она знакомит читателя с дополнениями к системе, включая сеть, графический интерфейс, поддержку звука, принтера и сканера

I run FreeBSD on my computers. A lot of my friends run Linux, or at least one of the distributions of it. Naturally, then, we agree that a Unix-style operating system is the right choice, but we disagree on which to use. It's been my impression that the BSD communit{y,ies}, in general, understand Linux far better than the Linux communit{y,ies} understand BSD. I have a few theories on why that is, but that's not really relevant. I think a lot of Linux people get turned off BSD because they don't really understand how and why it's put together. Thus, this rant; as a BSD person, I want to try to explain how BSD works in a way that Linux people can absorb. While there's overwhelming similarity between the operating systems in most cases, there are also a lot of differences. As you probe more into the differences, you find that they emerge from deep-seated disagreements. Some are disagreements over development methodology, some over deployment and usage, some about what's important, some about who's important, and some about which flavor of ice cream is superior. Just comparing the surface differences doesn't tell you anything; it's the deeper differences that both explain and justify why each group does things the way they do.

Building Embedded Linux Systems shows you how to design and build your own embedded systems using Linux® as the kernel and freely available open source tools as the framework.
