User Mode Linux
With User Mode Linux you can create virtual Linux machines within a Linux computer and use them to safely test and debug applications, network services, and even kernels. You can try out new distributions, experiment with buggy software, and even test security. Now, for the first time, the creator and maintainer of User Mode Linux shows how to put it to work hands-on. Jeff Dike covers everything from getting started through running enterprise-class User Mode Linux servers. You'll find authoritative advice on bootup, compilation, administration, specialized configurations, and much more. Coverage includes What User Mode Linux is, how it works, and its uses in Linux networks Key applications, including server consolidation, development, and disaster recovery Booting and exploration: logins, consoles, swap space, partitioned disks, and more Copy-On-Write (COW): UML's efficient approach to storing filesystem changes In-depth discussion of User Mode Linux networking and security Centrally managing User Mode Linux instances, and controlling their hardware resources Implementing clusters and other specialized configurations Setting up User Mode Linux servers, step-by-step: small-scale and large-scale examples The future of virtualization and User Mode Linux Whether you're a netadmin, sysadmin, teacher, student, or programmer, User Mode Linux® --the technology and this book--is indispensable.

How Linux Works
Whether you're a systems administrator or a home user, you need to understand how Linux internals work before you can really master Linux — how it boots, how networking works, how to customize the kernel, and even what hardware to buy. How Linux Works contains the kind of information normally handed down from wizards—knowledge that comes from years of experience doing things the hard way. But instead of seeking the right incantation to make your system work, you can read How Linux Works to see how to administer Linux and why each particular technique works. This book covers such need-to-know topics as: –How Linux boots, with coverage of boot loaders and init –How networking, interfaces, firewalls, and servers work –How development tools and shared libraries work –How the kernel manages devices, device drivers, and processes, and how to build a custom kernel –How the Linux printing system works, with sections on cups, filters, and Ghostscript –How shell scripts work With its combination of background theory and real-world examples, How Linux Works will show you how to run your system instead of having your system run you.
