SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Principles of Network and System Administration focuses on the general principles involved in setting up, configuring and maintaining computer communities. A robust discipline of system administration is now coming of age and both academics and industry recognize the need to formalize the problems which system administrators tackle." "Whilst providing practical illustrations of technical specifics through examples, Burgess steers away from the ovewhelming details of specific operating systems. Trainee administrators and students alike need to understand a wealth of issues relating to heterogeneous environments before understanding the quirks of any one particular system. Moreover this book teaches good practice for working in a global community of networked machines and organizations - which extends beyond being technically savvy to being professionally and ethically responsible."--Jacket.
