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. The fourth edition of "Running Linux delves deeper into installation, configuring the windowing system, system administration, and networking. New topics include applications ready for prime time, basic security and firewalling, package management on Debian, sound configuration, ADSL, the GNOME desktop, the Postfix mail transfer agent, and the popular LAMP configuration that combines Apache, MySQL, and PHP. A solid foundation text for any Linux user, the book also includes additional resources for dealing with special requirements imposed by hardware, advanced applications, and emerging technologies.Whether you are using Linux on a home workstation or maintaining a network server, "Running Linux will provide expert advice just when you need it., You're about to begin your first Linux installation.

  • Review of very fine book about installing and running Linux!

    This book is better than version 5, which has had too much material removed!
