About this title

Synopsis

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 Web; learn to program under Linux using bash (the standard shell) and Tcl/Tk; become proficient in Emacs and LaTeX; and 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.

The 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.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
