Really an excellent tutorial on setting up and managing Ubuntu servers. I've subscribed to many online courses (assorted Udemy, Linux Academy subscription, Linux Foundation...) and this book has gotten me working and understanding much more quickly than the rest. Examples are very clear and the writing style is engaging, not the typical dry delivery of a lot of books on this topic. Highly recommended!

One of the best Linux server books I have read. Very thorough and detailed.This book is never on the shelf in the ops room and is always on someone's desk with the pages opened or has taken it home or is sitting in the server room next to a keyboard.Covers new OS issues.I have also seen some of Jay's work on Kubernetes, Sonatype, security, and AWS and found it a guide to survival in DevOps/DevSecOps world. I hope Jay will publish something in these areas as well in the future. Even a short guide or how to.

I've never bought or read any of Jay LaCroix's books before, but based on the strength of his video tutorials I thought this would be a good buy. I mean, if a complete noob and dope like me can install Arch Linux from a guy's tutorials, a book by the same person should be good, right?The answer is: yup, right, definitely. I'm about 20% through the book and am certain I made a good choice. I have found everything to be clear, understandable, relevant, relatable, and jam-packed with good old common sense.It's an interesting experience in that his writing style is very much like his speaking style. I can practically hear his tutorial voice in my head as I read, and, as I intimated, that voice has been instrumental in me learning many Linux-esque things I otherwise would not have. (I wonder if he somehow "speaks" his books, then transcribes them?)So five stars from me. Thanks for writing this book, Jay.

I have been in the computer industry for over 20 years and I have always been a windows person. However, over the last 5-6 years I’ve started using Linux/Ubuntu as well. I purchased this book specifically to use as a handbook and as a reference for the many areas that I’m lacking. This book fills in knowledge gaps as well as help with best practices. There is a lot more I want to explore with Ubuntu and this book will help me with that.I highly recommend this book for anyone that is just starting out, just wants to understand the basics, or for the more advanced administrators that need to keep your skills well-polished.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
