How Linux Works: What Every Superuser Should Know 3rd Edition, Brian Ward

Best-selling guide to the inner workings of the Linux operating system with over 50,000 copies sold since its original release in 2014. \n \nLinux for the Superuser \n \nUnlike some operating systems, Linux doesn’t try to hide the important bits from you—it gives you full control of your computer. But to truly master Linux, you need to understand its internals, like how the system boots, how networking works, and what the kernel actually does. \n \nIn this third edition of the bestselling How Linux Works, author Brian Ward peels back the layers of this well-loved operating system to make Linux internals accessible. This edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded with added coverage of Logical Volume Manager (LVM), virtualization, and containers. \n \nYou'll learn: \n

With its combination of background, theory, real-world examples, and thorough explanations, How Linux Works, 3rd Edition will teach you what you need to know to take control of your operating system. \n \nNEW TO THIS EDITION: \n
