"Neither a "Starting Linux" book nor a dry reference manual, this
book has a lot to offer to those coming to Fedora from other
operating systems or distros." - Behdad Esfahbod, Fedora developer.
This book will get you up to speed quickly on Fedora Linux, a
securely-designed Linux distribution that includes a massive
selection of free software packages. Fedora is hardened
out-of-the-box, it's easy to install, and extensively customizable
- and this book shows you how to make Fedora work for you. "Fedora
Linux: A Complete Guide to Red Hat's Community Distribution" will
take you deep into essential Fedora tasks and activities by
presenting them in easy-to-learn modules. From installation and
configuration through advanced topics such as administration,
security, and virtualization, this book captures the important
details of how Fedora Core works - without the fluff that bogs down
other books and help/how-to web sites. Instead, you can learn from
a concise task-based approach to using Fedora as both a desktop and
server operating system. In this book, you'll learn how to: Install
Fedora and perform basic administrative tasks; Configure the KDE
and GNOME desktops; Get power management working on your notebook
computer and hop on a wired or wireless network; Find, install, and
update any of the thousands of packages available for Fedora;
Perform backups, increase reliability with RAID, and manage your
disks with logical volumes; Set up a server with file sharing, DNS,
DHCP, email, a Web server, and more; and Work with Fedora's
security features including SELinux, PAM, and Access Control Lists
(ACLs). Whether you are running the stable version of Fedora Core
or bleeding-edge Rawhide releases, this book has something for
every level of user. The modular, lab-based approach not only shows
you how things work-but also explains why - and provides you with
the answers you need to get up and running with Fedora Linux.
