Reviews
“Kralicek instead gives a thorough grounding on sysadmin tasks, networking technologies, and various servers and services … . the higher-level overview presented in most chapters will be a useful introduction to essential areas for many people who have IT responsibility thrust upon them. … this handbook could help you put your organisation’s IT in a saner and safer state, and save unnecessary problems.” (The MagPi, Issue 47, July, 2016)
