Title: Hacks for experienced sysadmins
Product review: This book comes with a Knoppix bootable CD. However, I could not get my laptop to boot with it. It got stuck at a fairly early stage. This was surprising since I have successfully booted with both Mandrake and Suse.The book did tell me how to download Knoppix from the internet but it's 700 MB so a CD would be better.This book is most useful if you are already an experiencedLinux/Unix sysadmin. I found many of the hacks were beyond mycapability and interest level. I don't have the need to do much sys admin tasks or to rescue hard drives. For those that do, they will find this book useful.
