Synopsis
A recent European Ph.D. introduces the basics, optimum configuration, Internet access, and applications of this increasingly popular Unix-like operating system alternative to Windows. This edition updates tips on getting up and running from installation to online documentation, and is compliant with Linux Kernel 2.2. The two enclosed CD-ROMs contain a complete Linux system (Redhat Linux 6.0), source code, and additional applications and tools. Coverage of programming, networking, and distribution-specific extensions is purposely minimal. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
