Debian GNU/Linux 诞生于1993年，是最古老的Linux发行版之一，也是目前最受欢迎的Linux发行版。Debian 是一个大型的开源项目，完全来自社区并为社区服务，因此Debian也成了世界上最具活力的Linux发行版。
Debian GNU/Linux的特点：
1. 先进的分布式设计理念；
2. 高度的可订制性，能够满足各类型的需要；
3 . 灵活高效的deb软件包管理机制，使得Debian GNU/Linux的升级和扩展极为简便；
4. 拥有世界上最大的软件仓库，共有超过8000种软件，而且还在不断增加，全部软件都是自由软件或开源软件；
5. 拥有数量极广的高层次用户群，其社区的支持力量比任何发行版都要强大，它是最受中国大学生欢迎的发行版；
6. 拥有海量的文档，覆盖了从基本常识到高级应用的全部知识；
7. 有着非常鲜明的网络操作系统特征，顺应“网络即计算”的发展潮流；
Debian GNU/Linux几乎和Slackware一样古老，但却是最有活力的Linux发行版；Debian GNU/Linux虽然是一个开源的发行版，但是极具生产力，应用层面极广，不逊于任何一款商业发行版本。
本书介绍了Debian GNU/Linux的历史沿革，安装配置，管理维护和脚本编程，不仅仅适合初学Deiban的读者，而且也完全够格成为Linux的入门读物。因为本书出版较早，而Debian有发展极快，所以关于安装配置的内容可能已经落伍或不合时宜，希望读者不要在本书介绍安装配置的部分花费太多时间，不过其余的部分仍然是非常有用的。

书名: Linux In a Nutshell Fifth Edition July 2005
系列名： In a Nutshell
ISBN: 0-596-00930-5
出版社： Oreilly
价值近400元人民币的新书，是Oreilly经典的"in a nutshell"系列中的一本。从书名就可以看出这是一本关于Linux无障碍，无前提的入门书，里面涵盖了许多非常时新的内容，无论是系统管理员，程序员，还是一般的初学者，这都是一部非常非常棒的好书。
Over the last few years, Linux has grown both as an operating system and a tool for personal and business use. Simultaneously becoming more user friendly and more powerful as a back-end system, Linux has achieved new plateaus: the newer filesystems have solidified, new commands and tools have appeared and become standard, and the desktop--including new desktop environments--have proved to be viable, stable, and readily accessible to even those who don't consider themselves computer gurus.
Whether you're using Linux for personal software projects, for a small office or home office (often termed the SOHO environment), to provide services to a small group of colleagues, or to administer a site responsible for millions of email and web connections each day, you need quick access to information on a wide range of tools. This book covers all aspects of administering and making effective use of Linux systems. Among its topics are booting, package management, and revision control. But foremost in Linux in a Nutshell are the utilities and commands that make Linux one of the most powerful and flexible systems available.
Now in its fifth edition, Linux in a Nutshell brings users up-to-date with the current state of Linux. Considered by many to be the most complete and authoritative command reference for Linux available, the book covers all substantial user, programming, administration, and networking commands for the most common Linux distributions.
Comprehensive but concise, the fifth edition has been updated to cover new features of major Linux distributions. Configuration information for the rapidly growing commercial network services and community update services is one of the subjects covered for the first time.
But that's just the beginning. The book covers editors, shells, and LILO and GRUB boot options. There's also coverage of Apache, Samba, Postfix, sendmail, CVS, Subversion, Emacs, vi, sed, gawk, and much more. Everything that system administrators, developers, and power users need to know about Linux is referenced here, and they will turn to this book again and again.

书名：Slackware Essentials
书名：Slackware Linux Unleashed
自由文档，图片欠奉
格式：PDF
Slackware是一款非常古老的Linux发行版，Slackware基于"KISS"原则，坚持“原汁原味”的Linux风格，摈弃一切华而不实和可能带来不稳定因素的软件和技术，经过10多年的演变，Slackware成了最单纯最稳定最高效的Linux发行版。
Slackware的优点：风格简洁，配置直观，运行稳定。缺点：对于GUI的应用重视不够，界面不够友好；国际化程度很低，对于中文的支持不够好；对于软件依赖采取一种不管不顾的自由主义态度，系统扩展较繁琐；设计理念过于保守，网络计算能力弱于其它发行版。
虽然slackware对于新用户缺乏吸引力，但是因为它的专注，使其更能体现Linux本身的设计思想，对于有兴趣研究Linux核心技术的用户来说，Slackware是不二之选。
这两本书用详细的篇幅深入浅出介绍了Slackware从安装到维护的各个方面的技术细节，所有内容都由社区维护，有非常强的争对性，读下来常有豁然开朗之感。我个人认为它们是所有自由文档中编撰的最好的。

一本关于Linux编程的入门读物，说是“入门”，其实并不确切，因为这本书还是要求读者最好有一点编程经验，如果你对于C/C++编程一无所知的话，那么你一定会觉得很难读下去，我建议读者最好先掌握C++语言（不是VC，也不需要MFC），对于那些有心在Linux下开发软件的读者来说，没有比这更好的基础读物了。
书名：Advanced Linux Programming
作者：CodeSourcery LLC, Mark Mitchell, Alex Samuel, Jeffrey Oldham.
出版社：Sams.
ISBN: 0735710430
出版日期：2001年6月11日
Linux高级编程，从名字来看，这本书是比较重量级的，读者最好有一些UNIX编程的经验，但是没有也行，只要能熟练运用C/C++语言就可以比较顺利的读完整本书。
Advanced Linux Programming is divided into two parts. The first covers generic UNIX system services, but with a particular eye towards Linux specific information. This portion of the book will be of use even to advanced programmers who have worked with other Linux systems since it will cover Linux specific details and differences. For programmers without UNIX experience, it will be even more valuable.The second section covers material that is entirely Linux specific. These are truly advanced topics, and are the techniques that the gurus use to build great applications. While this book will focus mostly on the Application Programming Interface (API) provided by the Linux kernel and the C library, a preliminary introduction to the development tools available will allow all who purchase the book to make immediate use of Linux.

出版社：Prentice Hall PTR
出版日期： 2005年3月14日
关于Windows系统优化的书籍不计其数，关于Linux系统优化的书籍则很罕见，开源社区里面也很少讨论此类问题。以至于很多新人产生了一种错误的认知：即Linux无需优化。事实上所有的操作系统都有性能下降的问题，性能优化也是Linux的一个重要课题，尤其是Linux作为服务器操作系统时。很多人选择重新编译内核的方式提高性能，但是编译内核费时费力，并不是管理员的最佳选择，这本书提出了除编译内核之外的很多有效方式，以尽可能提高Linux的性能。对于Linux管理员来说，这是很好的参考书。
The first comprehensive, expert guide for end-to-end Linux application optimization Learn to choose the right tools—and use them together to solve real problems in real production environmentsSuperior application performance is more crucial than ever—and in today's complex production environments, it's tougher to ensure, too. If you use Linux, you have extraordinary advantages: complete source code access, plus an exceptional array of optimization tools. But the tools are scattered across the Internet. Many are poorly documented. And few experts know how to use them together to solve real problems. Now, one of those experts has written the definitive Linux tuning primer for every professional: Optimizing Linux® Performance.Renowned Linux benchmarking specialist Phillip Ezolt introduces each of today's most important Linux optimization tools, showing how they fit into a proven methodology for perfecting overall application performance. Using realistic examples, Ezolt shows developers how to pinpoint exact lines of source code that are impacting performance. He teaches sysadmins and application developers how to rapidly drill down to specific bottlenecks, so they can implement solutions more quickly. You'll discover how to: Identify bottlenecks even if you're not familiar with the underlying system Find and choose the right performance tools for any problem Recognize the meaning of the events you're measuring Optimize system CPU, user CPU, memory, network I/O, and disk I/O—and understand their interrelationships Fix CPU-bound, latency-sensitive, and I/O-bound applications, through case studies you can easily adapt to your own environmentInstall and use oprofile, the advanced systemwide profiler for Linux systemsIf you're new to tuning, Ezolt gives you a clear and practical introduction to all the principles and strategies you'll need. If you're migrating to Linux, you'll quickly master Linux equivalents to the tools and techniques you already know. Whatever your background or environment, this book can help you improve the performance of all your Linux applications—increasing business value and user satisfaction at the same time.
