1642. |  By: Rob Flickenger Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 20-JAN-2003 Insert Date: 13-MAR-2003 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux Server Hacks
A competent system administrator knows that a Linux server is a
high performance system for routing large amounts of information
through a network connection. Setting up and maintaining a Linux
server requires understanding not only the hardware, but the ins
and outs of the Linux operating system along with its supporting
cast of utilities as well as layers of applications software.
There's basic documentation online but there's a lot beyond the

loyal Mac user, and gone one step further--it's turned them into
Unix users, too. Perhaps you're already familiar with Unix, just
not on the Mac. Or perhaps you opened your Utilities folder,
spotted the Terminal icon and double-clicked on it just to see what
it does. Suddenly faced with a command line interface, you probably
asked what does it mean, and the more pressing question, why on
earth would you ever want to venture into this seemingly
user-unfriendly territory? The new edition of Learning Unix for
Mac OS X answers...

for building web sites, but it's led many programmers to abandon

Mason can be. It's a powerful, open source, Perl-based web site
development and delivery engine, with features that make it an
