The Linux System Administrator’s Guide, describes the system administration aspects of using Linux. It is
intended for people who know next to nothing about system administration (those saying “what is it?”), but
who have already mastered at least the basics of normal usage. This manual doesn’t tell you how to install
Linux; that is described in the Installation and Getting Started document. See below for more information
about Linux manuals.
System administration covers all the things that you have to do to keep a computer system in usable order. It
includes things like backing up files (and restoring them if necessary), installing new programs, creating
accounts for users (and deleting them when no longer needed), making certain that the filesystem is not
corrupted, and so on. If a computer were, say, a house, system administration would be called maintenance,
and would include cleaning, fixing broken windows, and other such things.
The structure of this manual is such that many of the chapters should be usable independently, so if you need
information about backups, for example, you can read just that chapter. However, this manual is first and
foremost a tutorial and can be read sequentially or as a whole.
This manual is not intended to be used completely independently. Plenty of the rest of the Linux
documentation is also important for system administrators. After all, a system administrator is just a user with
special privileges and duties. Very useful resources are the manual pages, which should always be consulted
when you are not familiar with a command. If you do not know which command you need, then the apropos
command can be used. Consult its manual page for more details.
