InetDaemon's Reading List

UNIX System Administration Handbook

This is the UNIX book to reach for in an emergency. The author, Evi Nemeth and her crew started all this with the first Unix Administrator's Handbook which was originally referred to as "the Red book"; now it is purple.

Essential System Administration

Whatever Evi Nemeth and crew don't cover, Æleen Frisch does. Between thsi and the Nemeth book, you've got better than 99% of the administration for nearly every *nix system in existence.

DNS and BIND

The Berkeley Internet Name Daemon and DNS go hand in hand. While InetDaemon has an excellent DNS tutorial, not everything is there. Consider our tutorial the nutshell and this book to be your reference guide when InetDaemon's tutorial isn't enough.

This is the book to learn DNS from even if you don't need to learn how to configure and administrate BIND.

Programming Perl

Larry Wall created Perl, then wrote this book with the help of Tom Christiansen and Jon Orwant.
