| FreeBSD—the powerful, flexible, and free Unix-like
operating system—is the preferred server for many
enterprises. But it can be even trickier to use than either
Unix or Linux, and harder still to master.
Absolute FreeBSD, 2nd Edition is your complete guide to
FreeBSD, written by FreeBSD committer Michael W. Lucas.
Lucas considers this completely revised and rewritten second
edition of his landmark work to be his best work ever; a
true product of his love for FreeBSD and the support of the
FreeBSD community. Absolute FreeBSD, 2nd Edition covers
installation, networking, security, network services, system
performance, kernel tweaking, filesystems, SMP, upgrading,
crash debugging, and much more, including coverage of how
to:
Use advanced security features like packet filtering,
virtual machines, and host-based intrusion detection
Build custom live FreeBSD CDs and bootable flash
Manage network services and filesystems
Use DNS and set up email, IMAP, web, and FTP services for
both servers and clients
Monitor your system with performance-testing and
troubleshooting tools
Run diskless systems
Manage schedulers, remap shared libraries, and optimize your
system for your hardware and your workload
Build custom network appliances with embedded FreeBSD
Implement redundant disks, even without special hardware
Integrate FreeBSD-specific SNMP into your network management
system.
Whether you're just getting started with FreeBSD or you've
been using it for years, you'll find this book to be the
definitive guide to FreeBSD that you've been waiting for.
