Product Description
Product Description
Once the free operating system of choice for programmers and geeks, Linux has exploded onto the market and is being integrated into small and large companies as the network server of choice because of its reliability, flexibility, and scalability. Red Hat Linux is the top-selling Linux distribution in North America. Networking Red Hat Linux builds on the core concepts in Bill McCarty's first book, Learning Red Hat Linux. Readers learn how to install, configure, and manage a Red Hat-based network server to provide workstations on a LAN with access to the Internet and beyond. The book consists of five major parts:
- Introduction to Linux: Provides background on Open Source software and Linux; includes a history of Linux and describes Linux's features and performance as a networking operating system.
- The Business Case for Linux: Compares and contrasts Linux with other operating systems (including Windows NT and Solaris), describes potential uses of Linux systems, and gives case studies of business applications of Linux.
- Installing and Using Linux: Covers the installation and use of Linux and the X-Windows system. Explains common shell commands, the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), and the KDE desktop.
- Configuring Your Linux Network: Demystifies the use of linuxconf to configure and administer Linux, showing how to set up a typical Local Area Network (LAN), connect the LAN to the Internet, set up a firewall, and use and create shell scripts.
- Linux Network Services and Facilities: Each chapter in this section covers a particular network service, including how to set up Samba for file and printer sharing, the Apache web server, an email and news server, and more.
