Debian 8 is the must-have handbook for learning Linux. Start on the beginners level and learn how to deploy the system with graphical interface and terminal.

Overcome your fear of using the Linux terminal and learn the most essential commands in administering Debian. Expand your knowledge of system services (systemd) and learn how to adapt them. Get more out of the software in Debian and outside of Debian. Manage your home-network with network-manager, etc. 10 percent of the profits on this book will be donated to the Debian Project.

It covers all the topics that a competent Linux administrator should master, from the installation and the update of the system, up to the creation of packages and the compilation of the kernel, but also monitoring, backup and migration, without forgetting advanced topics like SELinux setup to secure services, automated installations, or virtualization with Xen, KVM or LXC.
