This book has been the most-used resource for the last ~8 years of my career. It's the ONE book I would study if I had to start over as a Linux System Administrator or DevOps engineer again. Every sysadmin should have a copy at their desk.

This is a review of the book in general and the new edition specifically, along with a few wishlist items and criticisms.
