Linux Management
----------------

With the rapidly increasing number  of Linux servers deployed as File,
Print,  Web  and  Network  servers,  there has  been  a  corresponding
increase in the demand for  Linux System and Network Administrators to
coordinate what  Linux does best: Seamlessly  integrate and distribute
services across a heterogenous network.  A Network Administrator's job
today, is  made many times easier  than what it was,  primarily due to
the abundant availability  of easy-to-use network management utilities
on the  Linux platform.  While skill acquired  over years  of managing
large and complex  networks and a fierce motivation  to experiment and
analyse  are still  valued pre-requisites,  much  of it  can still  be
learnt from  top-notch system administrators and  integrators who have
walked that path before.
