Rezensionen

"Im zweiten Teil der Linux-Hacks haben die Autoren wieder tief in die Trickkiste gegriffen und viele große und kleine Erleichterungen für den Linux-Administrator zusammengetragen. Diesmal decken sie vor allem die Bereiche Management, Sicherheit und Storage ab. [...] Wer den ersten Teil mochte, wird auch den zweiten Teil wollen. Wer den ersten Teil nicht hat, sollte ihn zusammen mit dem zweiten Teil kaufen. Man kann die Hacks nur empfehlen, schneller kommt man nicht zu pfiffigen Tricks im Umgang mit Linux und wirklich jeder lernt noch etwas dabei." -- Elmar Török, it-adminstrator.de, Mai 2006
