I really need the latest tutorial.
Why? Unix system administration changes very slowly. Most of the
core concepts haven't changed much since the early 1980s.
I disagree with this statement. Understanding a core concept will really
help a lot, but will by far not be enough for solving a particular issue.
Most time learning how to get a problem fixed in a Linux system is in my
experience spent on finding out that a receipt, with a high impact
factor (founded in the past) and (therefore) staying available highly
ranked somewhere on the internet for ever, simply does not work anymore.
Once having found an update to it, or having found a meanwhile different
approach, and having got my problem solved, I am prepared to next time
find a solution a little bit faster - because I know already more about
what might not work anymore, and especially know for which newer
keywords better to watch out for and which older keywords to avoid. But
there is so much material published in the internet, that it is getting
more and more difficult to find relevant information.
Did in Linux and Debian the tools change, or did the concept change?
Efficient is to learn right away the most up-to-date concepts and
up-to-date tools, and both can be expected to go hand in hand. The OP is
clearly asking for an up-to-date tutorial, and if finding it he can
bypass a lot of frustration and will not lose so much time for figuring
out which information out there in the internet is nowadays obsolete.
The OP will just be well trained in short time.
So, I share the question of the OP. Does anybody with a sound knowledge
on Debian has a profound, up-to-date tutorial to recommend, or would
know if the one linked in the OP's question is indeed up-to-date and
nicely Debian compatible?
Best wishes,
Marco
