Disclosure, I received a free copy of this book for review. And writing this review only after reading complete book.This book is for system administrators who are looking to take their administrations skills to next level.Readers should have basic of system and network administration skills to get most out of this book.If you want to learn concepts of networking under linux environment or how to setup configure and secure your infrastructure or looking for how to monitor system resources with network or learn concept of hosting web content along with troubleshooting network issue, this book is geared towards you. However if you are a highly experienced system administrator you might not get as much out of it, but this can be a good reference book to brush up skills or look for quick techniques or tricks on various networking troubleshooting skills.Conclusion, If you are linux power users or administrators and looking for some direction in networking this book definitely a great value add.

I would not hesitate to purchase any of Jay's books. He has the ability to make you feel as if he is talking to you directly.

I was worried that now (2021) this 2015-published book would be too old, but given the relatively slim pickings on Linux networking across Amazon, I took the risk and bought it. Even although it isn't completely current, I was happy to find that this book is still current enough to offer plenty of value - it's exactly what I wanted (most networking principles haven't actually changed much since '15)!The word "Mastering" in the title is overstating it – there's a ton left to learn (it never ends!) – but this book is perfect for someone like me, with beginner/intermediate networking experience and skills who wants to learn more. It's very technical and full of examples (using terminal commands, config files, etc.), but it remains easy to read and approachable to anyone with basic terminal skills.What's also nice is that the author took pains to give examples for both CentOS and Debian (which Ubuntu is also based on), so it's generally relevant to the most popular Linux distributions.If anything, my only complaint is that it's actually a little slim. At 230 pages, the author could have packed a lot more content in and added even more value. That said, it was still worth buying and reading. I am happy to recommend this book.

In this book I found all information I ever wanted to know for my daily tasks. The structure of the chapters is very useful. All information are very good explained. My favorite chapters are about monitoring and troubleshooting. There are some tipps I did not know so far. I would buy this book again.
