If you are looking for one book to teach you all the basics of Linux, from installation and usage to simple programming, then this is the book for you. Linux: Installation, Configuration and Use will get you up and running with Linux quickly and effectively, cutting out time-consuming installation problems and searches for on-line documentation. Whether you are a Systems Administrator or a Linux novice, this book will provide you with a cohesive, authoritative introduction to Linux handling.

Divided into four separate parts, progressing from introduction to installation and implementation, this practical, hands-on guide will help you:

• understand your Linux system and configure it to your own requirements
• connect to the Internet in order to read and write email and news, transfer data using ftp or surf the World Wide We
• learn to program under Linux using bash (the standard shell) and Tcl/Tk
• become proficient in Emacs and LaTeX
• gain an understanding of the various Linux distributions, including RedHat 4.1, Slackware 3.1, Caldera and SuSE 4.4 through a comprehensive set of appendices

 
A series of icons alert you to potential problem areas, indicating possible error sources and highlighting time-saving tips and short-cuts. A further icon will notify you of on-line support and point you in the right direction whatever your particular problem.

An accompanying CD-ROM contains a complete Linux system - Redhat 4.1. This book will teach you all you need to know in order to install, configure and use it. Also provided are the entire kernel sources for version 2.0.29 and 2.1.28 as well as an extensive collection of on-line documentation, part of which can be read prior to installation via a Windows web browser.
