If you use Linux... get this book. In line with the open source mindset of DIY... this book will instruct you on the inner workings of the Linux OS. Highly highly recommended!!

Excellent livre, bien écrit et très agréable lire ; le seul, semble-t-il, qui décrive la face cachée de toutes les distributions LINUX, à savoir les process ou "démons" qui sont lancés en arrière-plan (systemd, dhcp, smtp,ntp etc.), et leur rôle : c'est très souvent leur mauvais paramétrage qui ruine le fonctionnement d'une installation. Ce texte fournit les détails du bootloader (GRUB, LILO), explique la différence entre UEFI et MBR, etc. Il décrit clairement le principe des firewalls ; il ne rentre, par contre, pas assez dans l'architecture des courrielleurs et le fonctionnement des e-mails (postfix, sendmail), mais du moins il en expose les principes. Pour comprendre la couche graphique et les fenêtres, vous pouvez compléter ce livre avec "X Power Tools" de Tyler.

Before reading this book, make sure to have a basic understanding on Linux (using the command line, meaning of OS, kernel etc). And this is a very good book to start with. I would definitely recommend this book to get overall exposure on different subsystems of Linux OS.
