Explore the limitless potential of Linux servers!
Notes on the Amendments to the Third Edition.
Thank you for your support and feedback on the third edition, which has greatly contributed to the continuous improvement and improvement of this book. On the basis of the third version, we have updated the content for the changes in the Linux system version, including replacing outdated references** and links, consolidating some content, and optimizing the language expression. In addition, some chapters have been cut and added to better meet the needs of current readers.
The main contents of the revisions are as follows:
Adapt the content of the book to newer OS versions, such as newer versions of CentOS, Windows, etc.
Some outdated software and apps were removed and replaced with newer versions and better apps.
The old link to the term query has been removed, as readers can now query through search engines and various encyclopedias (such as encyclopedias, etc.) to keep up to date with the latest technology.
The uniform use of the terms "Internet" and "Internet" and the Internet in the book. In fact, the terms "Internet" and "Internet" are used interchangeably, and they largely mean the same thing. However, for the sake of subtle distinction, we can understand the differences between them in terms of:
n Origin and development:The term "Internet" is derived from the English word "interconnected networks" and originally described a vast network system formed by the interconnection of multiple computer networks. In contrast, the Chinese term "Internet" emphasizes the interconnection of multiple networks.
n Scope and scale:The Internet generally refers to the global computer network system, including a variety of interconnected networks, such as the network of enterprises, academic institutions, and institutions. The term "Internet" is broader and refers to any network that is connected to each other via the TCP IP protocol. In summary, the Internet focuses on the physical connection and technical architecture of the network, while the Internet places more emphasis on the interconnection of the network. In this book, we tend to use the word "Internet" uniformly.
Thank you for your support and feedback. We hope that this book will give you an in-depth understanding of the networking capabilities of Linux and enrich your knowledge and skills. Good luck with your server setup and management!
