Mark Sobell's A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux, Third Edition, is the most thorough and up-to-date reference to installing, configuring, and working with Ubuntu-and it provides comprehensive Ubuntu server coverage you won't find in any other book. This edition is fully updated for the new Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) -a Long Term Support release that Canonical will support on servers until 2015. Thousands of organizations only install LTS releases, making this book even more useful, even longer. Sobell walks you through all the essentials, from installing and securing Ubuntu to working with GNOME, Samba, exim4, Apache, DNS, NIS, LDAP, Perl, and SELinux. You'll find full chapters on running Ubuntu from both command line and GUI, administrating systems, setting up networks, and much more. Fully updated Jump Start sections help you get complex servers running fast-often in as little as five minutes.
