Pro Linux System Administration makes it easy for small- to medium-sized businesses to enter the world of zero-cost software running on Linux and covers all the distros you might want to use, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS. Pro Linux System Administration takes a layered, component-based approach to open source business systems, while training system administrators as the builders of business infrastructure.

Completely updated for this second edition, Dennis Matotek takes you through an infrastructure-as-code approach, seamlessly taking you through steps along the journey of Linux administration with all you need to master complex systems. This edition now includes Jenkins, Ansible, Logstash and more.

Dennis Matotek is Senior Development Operations Engineer at Envato, an online digital marketplace where a community of creatives can help bring ideas to life. He helps a small team of engineers deploy code, build infrastructure, and monitor performance to varying different systems; mostly written in Rails. He mostly works with AWS rather than bare metal and appreciates not having to change failed disks.

He lives in Melbourne, Australia with his partner and two children.

James Turnbull manages the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at the National Australia Bank. He is also a member of Linux Australia, which included sitting on the Executive Council in 2008, and on the committee of Linux Users of Victoria.

He is a contributor to a number of open source projects and regularly speaks on topics related to writing, systems administration, and open source technologies. He is the author of three books, Pulling Strings with Puppet: Systems Administration Made Easy (Apress, 2008), Hardening Linux (Apress, 2008), and Pro Nagios 2.0 (Apress, 2006).

Peter Lieverdink was born in a small Dutch country town. He owns a pair of clogs, but has never eaten tulips or lived in a windmill. On his 22nd birthday, Peter moved to Australia and briefly worked in an office cubicle. He now runs his own business, Creative Contingencies Pty, Ltd. The business depends on open source software for infrastructure and development as well as daily office tasks. 

Peter specializes in web application development and helping other businesses implement open source solutions using Linux on both desktops and servers.


Information technology plays a critical role in business success. Investment in technology can increase productivity. It can provide access to new markets-for example, via the Internet. So understanding information technology and how it can serve your business is important. You also need to understand the cost of the technology that your business relies on and how to make the best use of it. Today, one of your potential technology choices is free and open source software, or FOSS, which does not require license fees or maintenance charges and represents a serious and cost-effective alternative to commercial software. This book is designed to guide the small business entrepreneur into the world of free and open source software. We will show you how to use open source software and how it brings low-cost and first-class information technology within reach of all businesses, even the sma- est startups. The book explains how to install and configure open source software and how to tap into the global community that creates and supports FOSS. From providing a basic file server for the office to setting up a web server, building your own IT systems puts you in control of your business. Whether you want to manage your own systems or just understand them better so you know what your support professionals are doing, this book is for you.
