Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed is a comprehensive guide to installing, configuring, and managing Debian Linux.
Published by Sams in December 1999, this 1,119-page book covers everything from basic installation to advanced topics like setting up Internet servers, configuring firewalls, and integrating Debian into networks. The book also provides extensive coverage of working with open-source databases and programming in several languages and shells.
This book does an excellent job of documenting what was at the time the second most popular Linux distribution. Debian remains in wide use today, both independently and as the foundation for many smaller distributions. The book interweaves task-oriented instruction with documentation of software, emphasizing command-line programs, scripting languages, and kernel options.
