You may be contemplating your first Linux installation. Or
you may have been using Linux for years and need to know
more about adding a network printer or setting up an FTP
server. Running Linux, now in its fifth edition, is the book
you'll want on hand in either case. Widely recognized in the
Linux community as the ultimate getting-started and
problem-solving book, it answers the questions and tackles
the configuration issues that frequently plague users, but
are seldom addressed in other books.
This fifth edition of Running Linux is greatly expanded,
reflecting the maturity of the operating system and the
teeming wealth of software available for it. Hot consumer
topics such
as audio and video playback applications, groupware
functionality, and spam filtering are covered, along with
the basics in configuration and management that always have
made the book popular.
Running Linux covers basic communications such as mail, web
surfing, and instant messaging, but also delves into the
subtleties of network configuration--including dial-up,
ADSL, and cable modems--in case you need to set up your
network manually. The book can
make you proficient on office suites and personal
productivity applications--and also tells you what
programming tools are available if you're interested in
contributing to these applications.
Other new topics in the fifth edition include encrypted
email and filesystems, advanced shell techniques, and remote
login applications. Classic discussions on booting, package
management, kernel recompilation, and X configuration have
also been updated.
The authors of Running Linux have anticipated problem areas,
selected stable and popular solutions, and provided clear
instructions to ensure that you'll have a satisfying
experience using Linux. The discussion is direct and
complete enough to guide novice users, while still providing
the additional information experienced users will need to
progress in their mastery of Linux.
Whether you're using Linux on a home workstation or
maintaining a network server, Running Linux will provide
expert advice just when you need it.
