Summary

This book is the second edition of a textbook in the "Linux Innovative Talent Training Series." Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (with CentOS 7 also covered) as its practical platform, it follows the principle of "sufficient theory, emphasis on practice," using cases and examples to drive the explanation of knowledge points so that readers understand how Linux works while actually configuring commands. The book is divided into two main parts: theoretical knowledge (16 chapters) and lab guidance (8 key experiments). The theory part unfolds in four tiers. Chapters 1-5 build foundations: the origins of Linux and the GPL license, distributions and kernel versions, kernel architecture and file structure, installing RHEL 7 in VMware virtual machines and the boot process, runlevels and switching between graphical interfaces, as well as user and group management, process management, service management, disk and file management, permissions, compression and archiving, pipes and redirection, the Vi editor and RPM package management, and basic network configuration. Chapters 6-11 move into hands-on network services, building and debugging DHCP, Web, DNS, FTP, Samba, and iptables firewall one by one. Chapter 12 introduces Linux virtualization technology. Chapters 13-16 extend to database server configuration, Shell programming basics, software development environment configuration under Linux, and job control and task scheduling. Each chapter ends with a summary and review exercises. The lab guidance section extracts the 8 key experiments from the theory part into a separate section for classroom practice or self-testing after class. Examples throughout are chosen to stay close to real enterprise operations scenarios, and commands and configuration steps are complete and reproducible. The book is suitable as a textbook for electronic information and computer science programs in higher education, and also for vocational colleges, training institutions, and self-learners of Linux.

Editor's review

市面上的 Linux 教材不少，但真正把“企业里怎么配”讲清楚的并不多。这本书的可贵之处在于，它没有停留在命令罗列上：DHCP、Web、DNS、FTP、Samba、iptables 这些服务是一个个实际搭起来、调通的，配置文件和命令都出自真实工作场景，读者照着做就能跑通，也更容易记住“为什么要这样配”。结构上，理论加实验的双部分设计非常贴合教学节奏——16 章讲透原理与操作，8 个重点实验单独抽出来供上机使用，每章还有小结和思考与练习，老师可以直接拿来当课程骨架，自学者也能按章节一步步推进。第2版在保留第1版“理论够用、侧重实用”风格的基础上更新了技术内容，补充了虚拟化等较新的主题，RHEL 7/CentOS 7 的平台选择也较为稳妥，资料丰富、命令通用性强。如果你正在找一本能带着自己把 Linux 从装机、管用户、配网络一路做到架 Web 和防火墙的入门教材，这本值得放进书架。

Who it's for

A good fit for

高等院校计算机、电子信息类专业本科生，可作为操作系统或 Linux 课程教材
高职高专及职业院校学生，需要按实验步骤完成上机任务
准备转向运维岗位、想系统补齐 Linux 基础的自学者
培训机构 Linux 入门班学员，需要可复现的案例与练习
已会零散命令、希望把系统管理和网络服务串成体系的读者

Not a good fit for

已具备多年 Linux 运维经验、寻求内核源码或性能调优深度内容的读者
只想了解桌面发行版日常使用、对服务器配置无兴趣的普通用户
希望在书中找到大规模集群、容器编排等云原生进阶方案的人

Reading tips

先按第1章把 RHEL 7/CentOS 7 装进 VMware 虚拟机，保证有可反复试错的实验环境再往下读。
理论章节与第二部分实验对照推进，学完第6～11章立刻做对应的服务搭建实验，趁热打铁。
每章的配置命令建议手敲而非复制，出错时用日志和排查思路定位，这正是本书最值钱的部分。
读完后挑一个综合场景（如自建一台提供 Web+DNS+FTP 的服务器）独立复现一遍，检验掌握程度。

FAQ

这本书是第1版还是第2版？输入的书名对应哪一本？

带“采用实际工作中常见的典型案例，更接近真实环境”这句宣传语的，是人民邮电出版社的于德海版系列。2016年第1版ISBN为9787115417312，由王亮等人任副主编；2023年第2版ISBN为9787115602572，署名王亮主编。两版内容框架相近，第2版技术内容有所更新。

书里用的是哪个Linux发行版？版本会不会太旧？

全书以 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7（RHEL 7）为蓝本，同时兼容 CentOS 7。这两个版本虽已进入生命周期后段，但作为教学平台非常稳定，命令行、文件系统、用户权限、服务配置等核心知识在各发行版间通用，学到的思路可直接迁移到 RHEL 8/9、Rocky Linux 或 Ubuntu 上。

没有Linux基础能直接读吗？

可以。第1章从 Linux 起源、GPL 许可、发行版概念和虚拟机安装讲起，第1～5章覆盖安装、用户与组、进程、磁盘文件、权限、Vi 和软件包管理等入门必备内容，之后才进入网络服务配置，入门门槛控制得比较低。

书中的实验需要什么硬件条件？

只需一台普通电脑，通过 VMware 虚拟机安装 RHEL 7 或 CentOS 7 即可完成全部实验，无需额外服务器。建议内存 8GB 以上，并为虚拟机分配足够的磁盘空间，做磁盘分区与挂载实验时可额外添加虚拟硬盘。

这本书适合作为考研或认证考试用书吗？

它定位于高校课程教材和运维入门，不是针对 RHCSA/RHCE 或考研大纲编写的应试书。若目标是红帽认证，可作为基础铺垫，但仍需配合官方考纲和真题练习；若目标是课程学习与动手能力培养，则比较对口。
