What Are Linux Servers?
Linux servers provide essential network services: web hosting (Apache, Nginx), email (Postfix, Dovecot), file sharing (Samba, NFS), DNS (BIND, Unbound), database hosting (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and more. Linux's stability, security, and cost-effectiveness make it the preferred platform for server workloads.
Our Linux server books cover the installation, configuration, optimization, and maintenance of production server services with practical, step-by-step instructions.
