Linux System Administration Recipes. A Problem-Solution Approach The job of Linux systems administrator is interrupt-driven and requires constant learning in byte-wise chunks.

Plus, she dispenses wisdom about time management, dealing with desperate colleagues, and how to avoid reinventing the wheel!
