Can > you be more precise ? :) sure. while it's a 3rd-party courseware manual, it was obviously written to emulate fairly closely red hat's admin course here: https://www.redhat.com/courses/rh131_red_hat_linux_system_administration/details/ so the best way i can sum it up is that it's a perfectly decent admin course that covers all the standard admin topics you'd expect to see. all i was interested in was any additional packages or configuration that people on this list have used to great effect that most people would *not* have thought of or heard of. for instance, is anyone version controlling their system config files with a utility like, say, "etckeeper"? that sort of thing. i just want to pad out some of the sections with a few more items. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
