Ubuntu Server Administration(2009).pdf

This book focuses on the Hardy Heron (8.04) release of Ubuntu Server Edition. When Hardy Heron was released in April 2008, Canonical committed to support through 2013. In this book, I describe the Ubuntu community, as well as the installation process for Ubuntu Server Edition. I describe the innards of the operating system and basic configuration and administration tools. I show you how to install and configure a variety of services for basic operation, including CUPS, NIS, LDAP, DHCP, DNS,Apache, NFS, Samba/CIFS, Postfix, sendm ail, vsFTP, and NTP. Finally, I illustrate how you can reconfigure the Linux kernel and set up various types of virtual machine managers.
