After multiple months of hard work, I’m pleased to announce that Roland and I finished updating the Debian Administrator’s Handbook for Debian Wheezy.
By the way, as part of the launch of this updated edition, you can benefit from a 10% discount on any paperback copy ordered before January 9th 2014. Just click here and place your order.
We have put lots of hard work on this edition, doing quite some janitorial work. We didn’t cover as many new topics as I would have liked, but I’m still proud of the end result.
The book has a nice preface co-signed by the current and former Debian Project Leaders. Let me quote a short extract:
The book you have in your hands is different. It’s a free as in freedom book, a book which is up to Debian freedom standards for every aspects of your digital life. […] You can
apt-get installthis book, you can redistribute it, you can fork this book or, better, submit bug reports and patches for it, so that other in the future can benefit from your contributions. The “maintainers” of this book — who are also its authors — are longstanding members of the Debian Project, who grok the freedom ethos that permeates every aspect of Debian.
Enjoy it and share your comments! Even better if you write up a review that we can link from the website.
FWIW the official announce on the book’s blog is here: https://debian-handbook.info/2013/major-update-of-the-debian-administrators-handbook-for-debian-7-wheezy/
Félicitations Raphaël!
Je viens d’en acheter une copie sur Lulu en guise de remerciement.
Je dois dire que la lecture de cet ouvrage s’impose pour garder le métier!
