    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Who This Book Is For

    It is assumed that the reader has little to no experience in a professional information technology environment. 



    “Kralicek instead gives a thorough grounding on sysadmin tasks, networking technologies, and various servers and services … . the higher-level overview presented in most chapters will be a useful introduction to essential areas for many people who have IT responsibility thrust upon them. … this handbook could help you put your organisation’s IT in a saner and safer state, and save unnecessary problems.” (The MagPi, Issue 47, July, 2016)
