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 andpopular 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.
