I want to say that I have read and bought many versions of this Handbook over the years. The Second edition was absolutely critical for my first out of college job as I was having to run every UNIX system they covered and some that they didn't. When I am training new system administrators I make sure they have a copy and make sure they take the time to read it. Those that do, I have found make good system administrators even if they end up in Windows land because the basic skills taught in it are useful everywhere.
The Linux System Administration Handbook was very useful to me because my background was Red Hat, and every Debian system I have not completely trashed has been because they had the right pointers and translations to make me somewhat competent there :).
Many many thanks to the authors of these books.

Also does anyone know what type, size, boat Evi runs? I have sailed mostly smaller vessels (2 sail, <25 foot boats) and my knots are all out of date. [And yes that means I got to the end of the article.. like you should too ;)]

Author interview: UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook Posted Jul 13, 2010 4:26 UTC (Tue) by horen (subscriber, #2514) [Link] Agreed. The first version came out just as I moved from tech-writing to Unix systems administration (1988), and was my "bible" for many years. I haven't touched a Unix OS since 1999, when I moved full-time to Linux, but I'll buy a copy! Evie and Trent: thanks for helping make my "newest" career a great one!
