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.
