The Linux Philosophy for System Administrators introduces you to the Unix Philosophy and the original Linux Philosophy, which was derived directly from the Unix Philosophy. You will learn a little about the history and participants in the development of Unix and Linux and how they brought first the Unix Philosophy and then the Linux Philosophy into being.
You will also learn about my reasons and motivation for setting down my own Philosophy. In large part this is due to the inadequacy of the original Linux Philosophy when it is applied to the System Administrator.
Throughout this book you will find hands-on experiments to enable the type of learning that most SysAdmins like best – learning by doing. In Part 1, you will prepare for those experiments. You will be provided with a set of minimum specifications for a Linux computer on which the experiments should be run, and you will prepare a USB memory stick that will be used in some of the experiments.
The experiments in this book are intended to be short and simple. Their main purpose is to help you understand the Linux Philosophy for System Administrators.
