Description
Beginning Linux for DBAs is perhaps the only book to target the unusual needs of database administrators who are learning Linux. Unlike most who are learning Linux, database administrators need to know something of system administration from the very beginning. And yet they lack the time to delve deeply into what is not their core area; Linux administration books are too much. Beginning Linux for DBAs will succeed because it encompasses the unusual "grey zone" between just using Linux and administering Linux that is so crucial for database administrators to master.
