Once a little-known productivity boost for personal computers, Linux is
now becoming a central part of computing environments everywhere. This
operating system now serves as corporate hubs, Web servers, academic
research platforms, and program development systems. All along it's
also managed to keep its original role as an enjoyable environment for
personal computing, learning system administration and programming
skills, and all-around hacking.
This book, now in its third edition, has been widely recognized for
years in the Linux community as the getting-started book people need.
It goes into depth about configuration issues that often trip up users
but are glossed over by other books.
A complete, UNIX-compatible operating system developed by volunteers on
the Internet, Linux is distributed freely in electronic form and at a
low cost from many vendors. Developed first on the PC, it has been
ported to many other architectures and can now support such heavy-duty
features as multiprocessing, RAID, and clustering.
Software packages on Linux include the Samba file server and Apache Web
server; the X Window System (X11R6); TCP/IP networking (including PPP,
SSH, and NFS support); popular software tools such as Emacs and TeX; a
complete software development environment including C, C++, Java, Perl,
Tcl/Tk, and Python; libraries, debuggers, multimedia support,
scientific and database applications, and much more. Commercial
applications that run on Linux range from end-user tools like word
processors and spreadsheets to mission-critical software like the
Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and IBM DB/2 database management systems.
Running Linux explains everything you need to understand, install, and
start using the Linux operating system. This includes a comprehensive
installation tutorial, complete information on system maintenance,
tools for document development and programming, and guidelines for
network, file, printer, and Web site administration.
New topics in the third edition include:
* KDE, a desktop that brings the friendliness and ease-of-use of
Windows or the Macintosh to Linux
* Samba, which turns Linux into an office hub that serves files and
printers to Microsoft systems
* PPP, the most popular software for logging into remote systems over
phone lines
* Revised instructions for installation and configuration, particularly
covering the Red Hat, SuSE and Debian distributions
