If Red Hat Linux can do it, you can do it too...

With Red Hat Linux separating into the open source community Fedora Project and the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, new opportunities arise for Red Hat Linux users. Red Hat Linux Bible leads you through the possibilities and choices between Fedora and enterprise installations. Covering everything from detailed instructions to running desktop applications and setting up more than a dozen server types, this book also features new sections on shell scripting, encryption techniques, setting up RAID disks, using yum, and much more.

Inside, you’ll find complete coverage of Red Hat Linux

  • Install, tune, and configure Fedora and Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3
  • Navigate GNOME™ and KDE™ desktops to run the latest applications
  • Learn to use the Linux shell, file system, and text editors
  • Try out the latest security techniques for detecting and dealing with attacks and setting up encryption keys
  • Discover how to install extra software packages to play games, enhance security, and administer Linux
  • Install Linux on a laptop and manage power events with acpid
  • Use the newest Linux multimedia tools for audio, video, and CD burning
  • Configure Samba file/printer sharing, iptables firewalls, CUPS printers, and other features using Red Hat GUI tools
  • Use Red Hat Linux as an AppleTalk® or NFS server for Mac OS® 9 or OS X computers
  • Manipulate file systems, tune disks, and support multiple users

Complete 3 CD–ROM version of Red Hat Linux software from Red Hat’s Fedora Project

The Fedora Core includes: Linux kernel, GNU C compiler, GNOME desktop, Apache Web server, Samba Windows file/print sharing, CUPS print service, Sendmail mail server, and BIND DNS server. Additional packages include: KDE desktop, cdrecord, gimp, vsftpd, spamassassin, xmms, yum, and approximately 1,400 additional packages.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Will Be Up & Running In No Time, 8 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I searched long and hard for a book to get me started using Linux. This looked easy to follow and, more importantly, not too hard to read. Ideal for quite advanced Windows users taking their first steps in Linux. Moves at a pace that may frighten those who don't like to get their hands dirty under the bonnet, but then they probably aren't queuing up to try Linux.
The only downer is that it glosses over the issue of the Linux shell commands - I guess that needs a whole book on its own.
Big plus for us rural dwellers on dial up is the inclusion of the full 3 CD package of Fedora Core 1. This book also has good coverage of networking and numerous server configurations.
By the end of chapter 4 you will have a fully working desktop and know how to configure it as you wish. Then just pick the extra chapters as you need them. I'm just off now to configure that new network card...

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect introduction, 10 May 2004
If you want to try out Linux (the worlds best operating system) but know nothing about it, then this book is the perfect place to start. It even includes the three disks needed, brilliant!

I am not new to linux, but still found some useful and interesting tips and information i this book. There are loads of tools designed to make your life easier and this book mentions alot of them.

Want to move away from teh evil empire of microsoft and try linux, then start with this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter pack, 5 Jul 2004
By A Customer
I bought this book mostly becuase I wanted to get hold of a Linux distributable on CD, as it goes it offers allot more than the three CD's with Fedora on it!

I'd say its a good introductory book with plenty of information etc, its spread out a bit though so (like me) you might find your self flicking about trying to find that gem you saw last week.

I'd say you'll need a more indepth book once your up and running and bear in mind that Fedora Core 2 is released now and the CD's with this book contain Fedora Core 1. Not a problem for me as FC1 seems excellent and I'm still playing around / learning.
