It began simply enough. A young Finnish student at the University
of Helsinki named Linus Torvalds decided to develop his own
computer operating system merely as a hobby. More than a decade
later, this same operating system has caused nothing short of a
revolution in the world of computers. Now known as Linux, Torvalds'
creation was largely dismissed in the 1990s by tech pundits who
claimed that it was unsuitable for the general public's computing
needs. If they only knew how wrong they were! After a series of
tweaks from excited developers around the world, Linux's
unparalleled functionality and adaptability have now made it the
main alternative to Unix and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
And with good reason. System administrators realize that this
robust alternative can greatly improve their operating system's
reliability - and save them money, too. Linux systems are even less
vulnerable to attacks by computer viruses and worms. Not
surprisingly, businesses, government agencies, schools, and a
wealth of other institutions are all looking to Linux to replace
the Windows desktop for these same benefits. Linux in a Windows
World takes an in-depth look at exactly how Linux can be brought
into an organization that's currently based on Microsoft Windows
systems. Featuring a litany of insider tips and techniques, Linux
in a Windows World dispenses all the practical advice you need to
migrate to this revolutionary open source software. Author Roderick
W. Smith, himself a renowned system administrator and Linux
convert, understands that the skills required to install, deploy,
and maintain Linux are not easy to find. That's why he has tapped
the absolute best source of information available: the Linux server
experts who have made it their life's work to build and manage the
Linux system. The latest in O'Reilly's line of bestselling Linux
titles, Linux in a Windows World is an invaluable companion for any
system administrator interested in integrating Linux into their
Windows environment.
