Abstract:
This is a manual and tutorial for keeping a system up
and running.
This version is not finished, but the finished version is supposed
to cover all the central topics except networking (for which see
the Linux Network Administrators' Guide). This manual does not
try to be a reference manual, or a manual to all the different
programs that a system administrator might use. Separate
documentation (such as man pages) exist for those.
