The book uses the simple and progressive approach to performance tuning. It starts with a discussion on the Linux kernel followed by Linux servers, performance tools, and tuning techniques. It then takes the reader into the performance characterization of Linux servers followed by tuning examples that can be adapted for use in various situations.
The book focuses on two Linux distributions for illustration purpose: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novel SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. In addition, the Intel-based platform is assumed as the base server hardware. This is mainly the result of its popularity in the Linux community. The performance tuning of Linux servers on other platforms can be easily adapted. The server applications include web server, file and print server, database server, network management server, and web application server. The discussions and examples used in this book are based upon the Linux 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 kernels.
