Approved: linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu (Lars Wirzenius) Followup-to: comp.os.linux.misc Just when you thought you were safe... The Linux System Administrators' Guide version 0.2 ALPHA After a year and a half after the previous version, this version does not have much proof about time well spent. It mainly sports a number of smaller spelling fixes, and a rewritten chapter on disks. The disk chapter is "finished", i.e., it is pitifully inadequate, but at least it should serve as some sort of introduction to using them under Linux. I haven't much touched any other stuff, yet. This version also has the "Design and Implementation of the Second Extended Filesystem" paper by Remy Card, Theodore Ts'o, and Stephen Tweedie, first published in the Proceedings to the First Dutch International Symposium on Linux, ISBN 90 367 0385 9. Very well written, it describes inner details ext2fs in a clear and easily understandable way. (Such understanding can be very valuable when having problems.) An "LDP Rhyme", by an anonymous author, is also included. A postscript file (about 600 kilobytes uncompressed) is provided. I know of no tools to create a good plain text version from LaTeX source, so I'm again missing one. The deTeX command (e.g., ftp.funet.fi, utils/TeX) can be used to get somewhat readable output, but it would require way too much hand editing for me to do it. The text is exactly 100 pages (using my formatting options), if you are thinking about printing it out.
