Daniel L. Morrill is a computer scientist working as a researcher at the GE Global Research Center in upstate New York. He holds a master's degree in computer science and has extensive experience with a variety of operating systems in a number of environments. He has worked with many types of UNIX systems, IBM's OS/2, Microsoft's various Windows platforms, and even real-time and embedded operating systems. He has successfully used his knowledge of Linux systems to support real-world projects professionally, and he has used Linux exclusively on all of his personal systems for years.
Dan Morrill fills in the gap between the simple basics covered in most texts and advanced, specialized topics; his readers gain a genuine mastery of how Linux systems are designed and come away with insight to work with any distribution, even one not discussed in the book.
The books covers detailed analyses of three popular Linux distributions, example configuration and administration tasks, and three real-world case studies.

Tuning and Customizing a Linux System targets new users of Linux systems who already know the basics. There are a plethora of books about the basic tasks of installing, administrating, and using Linux- based operating systems (called "distributions"). At the other extreme, there are many books about advanced topics such as developing Linux software, modifying source code, and so forth. Tuning and Customizing a Linux System fills in a gap between these simple and advanced topics. Dan Morrill first describes what a Linux distribution actually consists of, and then explores three popular distributions in detail. This provides the reader with a complete, practical understanding of what is going on under the covers, without getting into arcane detail. By discussing three distributions, it also gives the reader an in-depth perspective into how different systems do things in different ways, which prepares the reader with insight to work with any distribution, even one not discussed in the book. Morrill also includes three real-world case studies. Readers will come away with a genuine mastery of Linux-based operating systems.
