The Official Ubuntu Server book - Any feedback on this one?

[jocampo]

Hello folks

Anyone owns the Official Server Ubuntu Book, released recently? I would like to hear opinions or someone posting the Table of Content. The Official UBuntu Book is good (I own it) but too basic in my opinion. I wonder if the Server book is focused to Intermediate/Advance and it's about Headless server or with GUI

I would assume headless/no GUI server..

Yes, since the Ubuntu server release is tuned for CLI, it would not make sense to include GUI information.

A review and sample content is here: http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137021186

Look on Amazon and you might be able to get the table of contents.

I have the Beginning Ubuntu LTS Server Administration: From Novice to Professional (http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ubuntu-LTS-Server-Administration/dp/1430210826/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249486191&sr=8-5) and it's been pretty good for me.

I am not new to Linux (fooling around with it since ~2002) but I am fairly new to Servers, Network and Administration.

I've found the book pretty good for my level, though in some instances I'm still trying to figure out the "why" or "how would I use this" but overall it's not bad. I haven't gotten to the virtualizing with KVM part yet though. :)
