Upper Saddle River, NJ (January, 2006)-- Prentice Hall Professional announced publication of its newest book in the Bruce Perens' Open Source Series, titled: "Linux® Patch Management: Keeping Linux® Systems Up To Date", authored by Michael Jang. (ISBN 0-13-236675-4; 262 pgs; US $44.99; www.phptr.com/title/0132366754). To keep Linux systems secure, reliable, and productive, IT professionals must stay current with patches and updates. But, until now, it has been difficult to find usable, trustworthy guidance on managing patches in Linux production environments. Linux Patch Management fills that gap, offering Linux professionals start-to-finish solutions, strategies, and examples for every environment, from single computers to enterprise-class networks. Michael Jang presents patching solutions for Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, Debian, and other distributions. He systematically covers both distribution-specific tools and widely used community tools, such as apt and yum. Whatever one's role in managing Linux systems, Linux Patch Management will reduce costs, enhance the availability of systems, and dramatically improve personal efficiency. Bruce Perens' Open Source Series is a definitive series of Linux and open source books by the world's leading Linux professionals. Bruce Perens-- as Series Editor-- is the primary author of The Open Source Definition, the formative document of the open source movement, and the former Debian GNU/Linux Project Leader.
