This book is gold, well written.
Format: Paperback
This is one of few IT books I'd recommand. Reading this book really save a lot of grindings in advancing my career. The knowledge shared in the book is came from real and actual practice in the IT field. I wish there are more authors like Jay. This book is a treasure to me, it is unlike most of the other books I read that were either teaching outdated config or title baits, for example, the "official" CCNP 350-401 book that taught me the outdated ikev1 crypto map config. I own the LPI essential certificate during my college time, but the college course didn't give me the same confidence as this book. I am now feeling very comfortable and confident with Linux system and I found the beauty in it. I am 100% recommanding this book to everyone are interested in Linux, either for personal or at work. This book will be my reference to go at all time.

Best written tech book I've read in a long time
Format: Paperback
I've been following Jay on youtube since I decided to ditch Microsoft for Linux. He is a blend of Sys Admin and teacher. He makes a complicated subject understandable even to a 75 year old retiree. The best way to master Ubuntu server is to listen, watch, read and do. Thanks Jay; GOOD BOOK!

Comprehensive?
Format: Paperback
I am a huge fan of Jay LaCroix and happy to support him by buying this book. That said, this book is in my opinion fully priced and not very comprehensive. My guess is it has more to do with Packt publishing and less to do with Jay. For sure, the content that is there is good and easy to consume ... as per Jay's style. And to be fair a truly comprehensive book would probably be another 1000 pages long. But a couple examples: cursory coverage of systemd:. eg discussion is on chron, crontab, etc instead of systemd timers. NTP server: if you have an Ubuntu server it would be great to set it up as your LAN NTP server for all your devices to sync time. Here is the coverage in this book "all servers should have the ntp package installed" Really? Do I need to disable systemd-timesyncd? Do I need to limit access by lan? How about setting up an Nginx reverse proxy for LAN services like unifi, pihole, etc? Sorry 3 pages of coverage. I am not trying to run down this book, only suggest that if you are looking for an authoritative comprehensive guide on Ubuntu 22.04, this probably will not be your only purchase. With all the foregoing, I would still buy this book if for no other reason than to support the author.
