Product Description
Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours is a tutorial aimed at making the Linux beginner a more effective and productive user of the operating system. Most books in this category are more of a general reference in nature and are designed to cover Linux in general. But every Linux distribution is different--file locations can change, commands can be a little different, etc., meaning the readers of those books may not find answers specific to their installation. This book uses the effective Sams Teach Yourself format to instruct you how to: install the operating system, configure hardware, and effectively use the tools that come with the Red Hat distribution included on the CD-ROM.
From the Author
Author Comment - Teach Yourself Red Hat Linux in 24 HoursThis is one of the first books about Red Hat Linux 5.0! I use Linux every day, and wrote the book to help other Linux users quickly configure their systems and become more productive. I love Linux, and I'm a great fan of Red Hat Software's Linux distribution. In the book, I've tried to save the reader time and effort when setting up an Internet account, configuring fax or printing services, or accomplishing other tasks that can require detailed research of manual pages, FAQs, or HOWTO documents. I sincerely hope this book helps new and old members of the Linux computing community!
