Quick Jumps:

The Practical Guide to UNIX System Administration is designed as both a tutorial for novice administrators and a quick reference for senior administrators. The Guide incorporates step-by-step instructions for common (and not so common) UNIX system administration tasks into in-depth background information. This Guide is meant to cover the primary areas of responsibility for a UNIX system administrator in an easy to read format.

Please keep in mind that this Guide is still under development, and therefore some parts of it may be incomplete or missing. Updated versions are posted frequently - check back every week or so to see if a chapter you need has been completed.
