Asked By ChillPanda83 On

I've been working as a Linux sysadmin for a year now and I enjoy reading books to discover new concepts and techniques. Right now, I'm reading O'Reilly's book on the Linux kernel, but I'm looking for recommendations on other books that would help me pick up tricks and learn new ways to improve my skills. Any suggestions?

If you're into Red Hat, Sander van Vugt's books are pretty much the go-to resource. He covers a ton of ground in System Administration.

You might find 'The Ubuntu Linux Toolbox' really helpful. It’s perfect for dipping into and discovering new tools and techniques that can streamline your work. And yeah, I totally agree with checking out more O'Reilly books that align with your interests!

Definitely check out anything by O'Reilly; they're usually packed with useful stuff. Also, think about what specific areas you want to improve in. A Bash cookbook could give you great ideas for scripting, which really opens up your skill set! Here's a good one: [Bash Cookbook](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1491975334/).

While not directly related to sysadmin tasks, I'd suggest 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk. It offers some profound insights into the impacts of stress, which can be helpful for maintaining a balanced mindset in a high-pressure job.

For a broader perspective, check out 'The Practice of System and Network Administration.' There's also a second volume focusing on web services and distributed systems. And if you're into reliability, 'Site Reliability Engineering' is a must-read and available online for free!
