Abstract
Here's all the information you need to maximize Caldera OpenLinux performance and reliability on state-of-the-art IBM eServer xSeries and Netfinity server platforms. In this book, a team of IBM's top Linux experts presents start-to-finish, Netfinity server-specific coverage of OpenLinux 2.3/eServer deployment and system administration throughout the entire system life cycle!
You'll get running fast with expert step-by-step preparation and installation techniques: review updating your BIOS and firmware, making the CD-ROM bootable, preparing SCSI devices, partitioning, configuration, X-Windows setup, deploying IBM ServeRAID in OpenLinux environments, and much more.
Next, you'll master all the key techniques of day-to-day OpenLinux system administration, including backup and recovery, Internet and e-mail connectivity, DNS/DHCP name services, and using OpenLinux with Samba as a world-class file/print server for Windows workstations. IBM-tested, proven, and crystal clear, this is the one essential book for everyone running OpenLinux on Netfinity servers.
