Synopsis
Linux is the most exciting development today in the UNIX world - and some would say in the world of the PC-compatible. A complete, UNIX-compatible operating system developed by volunteers on the Internet, Linux is distributed freely in electronic form and for low cost from many vendors. Its software packages include the X Window System (X11R6); TCP/IP networking (including SLIP, PPP, and NFS support); popular software tools such as Emacs and T[subscript E]X; a complete software development environment including C, C++, Perl, Tcl/Tk, and more; libraries, debuggers, multimedia support, scientific and database applications, and much more. Developed first on the PC, it has been ported to many other architectures, and even a POSIX-compliant version has been developed.
Running Linux explains everything you need to understand, install, and start using the Linux operating system. This book includes a comprehensive installation tutorial, complete information on system maintenance, tools for document development and programming, and guidelines for network and web site administration.
