In the Trenches: Installing and Administering Linux

by Al McKinnon, Al McKinnon

Linux is a reliable, open-source operating system that runs on a variety of hardware, and is inexpensive if not free. Whether networking a department or lashing together servers for a Web site, more and more IT professionals are choosing Linux as the solution, and they must get up to speed quickly. Installing and Administering Linux helps network professionals bridge the gap between their prior experience on Windows NT-, NetWare-, and UNIX-based networks and Linux. In a fast-paced, reference style, the authors focus on topics, concepts, and commands for readers with a working knowledge of networking. The Publisher's Edition of Red Hat Linux 6.2 is included on a CD-ROM. Additional technical information and value-added resources are available to readers at the publisher's Web site.
