The Accidental Administrator: Linux Server Step-by-Step Configuration Guide
This edition of the Linux Server configuration guide is the result of listening to reader and student feedback on previous editions, combined with many hours of research and testing. Like its predecessor, it is based on training materials I developed for my Linux server workshops. I  specialize in accelerated training and this book reflects that approach  to learning:  lots of material, delivered in a short amount of time.  I rewrote the training materials to create this book with the idea of giving you a lot of hands-on exercises and only the essential bits of theory and background information.  I tried to include lots of tips and shortcuts that I've learned and used in managing Linux servers.  (We use Linux servers exclusively in my business and I'm the guy who manages them!)  Whether you're brand new to Linux in general or new to Red Hat/CentOS, My goal is that you'll find this book helpful in learning the basics and even some of the more advanced concepts of Linux configuration and administration.
