Re:Ask HN: Recommended guides for learning filesystems? on Friday January 20, 2017 @05:00PM (#13447321)
For what it's worth I had asked someone the very same question when I started my career.

From the horses mouth take a look at ext4 on ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemsExplained

Then a 10,000 mile view, I'd take a look at UNIX and Linux https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Linux-System-Administration-Hand...

There are more books I could list and papers on FileSystems. I will leave you with three particular books that have guided my career

If you want to look solely at Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Server book https://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Server-Book-3rd/dp/01...

Unix Made Easy - https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Made-Easy-John-Muster/dp/0072193...

Hope this helps

Servers are on the network as well... and the phrasing is more towards the "network" as an environment.

Re:The Command Line Crash Course on Sunday January 12, 2014 @12:20PM (#7046565)
I can't recommend "UNIX and Linux System Administrator Handbook" enough it has definitely helped my burgeoning career as a sysadmin. Also I've learned tremendously from zed's C, Ruby, and Python. Thanks Zed for putting all of that together. Lastly RIP Evi Nemeth, so many Sysadmins are greatly indebted to your gifts.

Re:Prolog for Programmers on Friday December 13, 2013 @02:27PM (#6902362)
