Running Linux: A Distribution-Neutral Guide for Servers and Desktops

by Matthias Kalle Dalheimer, Matt Welsh

The Barnes & Noble Review
Approach Linux with the inquisitiveness and creativity that has always marked the open source community: read Running Linux, 5th Edition.

You won t find more experienced authors. Matt Welsh wrote the original Linux Installation and Getting Started guide; Matthias Dalheimer now leads the KDE Foundation. Their knowledge shows, whether they re talking about system administration, multimedia, or programming.

You ll start by getting comfortable and productive: navigating command lines and GUIs; using browsers and office software; even gaming. Then, the authors lead you into the heart of Linux. You ll build kernels, process text, manage startup, troubleshoot X Window video. You ll implement print, file, network, and Internet services. There s even a full chapter on building LAMP application environments. Along the way, the authors introduce a raft of new topics, from encrypted email to groupware -- all with the clarity and accuracy you need to get results.
