“This edition is for those whose systems live in the cloud or in virtualized data centers; those whose administrative work largely takes the form of automation and configuration source code; those who collaborate closely with developers, network engineers, compliance officers, and all the other worker bees who inhabit the modern hive.”
— from the Foreword by Paul Vixie, Internet Hall of Fame-recognized innovator and founder of ISC and Farsight Security
“As an author, editor, and publisher, I never paid much attention to the competition— except in a few cases. This is one of those cases. UNIX System Administration Handbook is one of the few books we ever measured ourselves against.”
— from the 4th Edition Foreword by Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media
