THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO FREEBSD®

image

With a foreword by MARSHALL KIRK Mc KUSICK

FreeBSD—the powerful, flexible, and free Unix-like operating system—is the preferred server for many enterprises. But it can be even trickier to use than either Unix or Linux, and harder still to master.

In this completely revised and updated third edition of Absolute FreeBSD, FreeBSD committer Michael W. Lucas covers the newest features and teaches you how to manage FreeBSD systems. You’ll dive deep into server management, learning both how things work and why they work the way they do. New to this edition is coverage of modern disks and redesigned jail and packaging systems, as well as FreeBSD transformative features designed for cloud-based management, like libxo and UCL.

You’ll also learn how to:

• Choose the right filesystem for your environment

• Back up and restore critical data

• Tweak the kernel—and when not to

• Configure your network, including how to activate interfaces and select congestion control algorithms

• Manage UFS, ZFS, and other critical filesystems

• Work with advanced security features like blacklistd and packet filtering

• Implement container-style virtualization with jails

• Perform panic management and bug reporting

Whether you’re a beginner simply in need of a complete introduction to FreeBSD or an experienced sysadmin or devops person looking to expand your skills, Absolute FreeBSD will show you how to take your FreeBSD system from “just working” to “working well.” Don’t leave your cubicle without it.
