[Discuss] RHEL6 sysadmin doc? (and book question)

[betsys at gmail.com (Betsy Schwartz)]

Thanks! I have and love the Nemeth et al book, but it's nowhere near specific or advanced enough. For example, just to name a few things I've had to look up recenytly:  there's only about a paragraph on grub.conf,  nothing about setting up different types of network bonding on ports, and almost nothing on kernel tuning parameters. I need the RHEL- specific details. And man pages are not my favorite reading. We keep reading this stuff on random blogs but I'm about ready to RTFM.

(We've still got a fair amount of RHEL5 but all our new infrastructure is RHEL6)

Thanks, Betsy
(Almost done with Solaris....)
