Description

You may be contemplating your first Linux installation. Or you may have
been using Linux for years and need to know more about adding a network
printer or setting up an FTP server. Running Linux, now in its fifth
edition, is the book you'll want on hand in either case. Widely recognized in
the Linux community as the ultimate getting-started and problem-solving book,
it answers the questions and tackles the configuration issues that frequently
plague users, but are seldom addressed in other books.
This fifth edition of Running Linux is greatly expanded,
reflecting the maturity of the operating system and the teeming wealth of
software available for it. Hot consumer topics such as audio and video
playback applications, groupware functionality, and spam filtering are
covered, along with the basics in configuration and management that always
have made the book popular.
Running Linux covers basic communications such as mail, web surfing,
and instant messaging, but also delves into the subtleties of network
configuration--including dial-up, ADSL, and cable modems--in case you need to
set up your network manually. The book can make you proficient on office
suites and personal productivity applications--and also tells you what
programming tools are available if you're interested in contributing to these
applications.
Other new topics in the fifth edition include encrypted email and
filesystems, advanced shell techniques, and remote login applications. Classic
discussions on booting, package management, kernel recompilation, and X
configuration have also been updated.
The authors of Running Linux have anticipated problem areas,
selected stable and popular solutions, and provided clear instructions to
ensure that you'll have a satisfying experience using Linux. The discussion is
direct and complete enough to guide novice users, while still providing the
additional information experienced users will need to progress in their
mastery of Linux.
Whether you're using Linux on a home workstation or maintaining a
network server, Running Linux will provide expert advice just when you
need it.
