"Just What You Need to Know to Install, Optimize
and Use Red Hat Linux"
|
"One of the best books we have ever seen for beginners who already know DOS. Rankin takes the user through installation and learning concepts..." -- The Linux Newsletter |
"The goal of this book is to provide enough information to enable a first time user to install Linux on a personal computer and use it productively. By experimenting with Linux on a personal computer, you'll gain valuable Unix skills that are much in demand in today's job market."
Oddly, most computer books assume the reader is already an expert in the subject matter - then they bore you with 1000 pages of trivia and jargon. Not so here... This book will get you rolling with Linux by explaining it all in plain English. When you feel like learning more on your own, you'll find a chapter with plenty of resources to take you further.
This book comes with the RED HAT Linux Version 6 CD - a rock-solid Linux product, and tons of free software. You get the GNOME GUI, Apache Web Server and lots of games like Doom, GNU Chess, Tetris and Xlander. For programmers, there's Perl, C++, Tcl/Tk, compilers and databases. There are also tools to access DOS files - even run DOS and Windows apps under Linux.
Linux (a version of UNIX that runs on ordinary PCs) has a lot to offer as a database or application server platform. It's multi-user, multi-tasking, and has the ability to access huge amounts of memory and disk space. Your PC will run faster and more efficiently with Linux because it's designed to take maximum advantage of the hardware. Red Hat Linux was selected for the CD because it is recognized as a rock-solid, comprehensive and easy to install Linux product.
