Guide to Linux Installation and Administration, Second Edition is a hands-on, practical guide that can be used to master installing and administering Linux, in preparation for taking Linux certification exams from LPI and SAIR/GNU. This book begins by introducing operating system concepts with a brief history of Linux and the Free Software movement, then moves into user-oriented tasks such as logging in, using the graphical interface, and navigating the file system from a command line or graphical file manager. Later chapters cover tasks such as user account management, file system setup and management, backup strategies, and basic shell scripting. Throughout the book, each topic is supported by thorough explanations and real-world examples, review questions, hands-on projects, and extensive case projects.
