I agree. However, if there were no basic instructions many chapters
that exist at this moment could be truncated into 1-5 lines of text.
Some other chapters show very nice balance between "mastering the art"
and providing only the bare necessities. The Kerberos5 chapter comes
into my mind as an example of that.

In a basic situation it seems quite simple to me. I wouldn't run
anything serious with this little knowledge but it is humming nicely
in my virtualized environment. What was difficult was finding
information. When I managed to gather all the required pieces the
actual concepts and configuration was rather easy.

If I had a good overview at the beginning finding the rest would have
been faster and easier. The Bind8 specific dns chapter had a lot of
that but it also lacked some parts. But yeah, that's all subjective.
