Product Description

Book Description
Whether you're just starting out with Linux or looking to hone
your existing skills, this book will provide you with the knowledge you
need. For new users, it is an exploration tour and getting started guide,
with exercises at the end of each chapter. Advanced trainees can consider
it a desktop reference, a collection of the base knowledge needed to tackle
system and network administration.

To help you work more effectively with Linux, this book contains hundreds
of real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux
system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. These examples
will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and feel
encouraged to try out things on your own.

learned the importance of mastering the basic concepts about a subject in
order to get the most out of any IT course. She is also a member of The
Linux Documentation Project, where she initially found a fertile ground for
making her work read throughout the world. She writes from practical
experience as a long-time Linux user, administrator, support engineer and
instructor.

4.0 out of 5 stars comments from a Linux newbie, 14 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Linux (Paperback)
This guide has been a perfect starting point for me. Not too fast, not too slow, just right. The exercises really helped me to get my mind around things.

At the moment I am waiting for my distribution to arrive in the mail and only got a chance to look into this Linux stuff at work. I chose Debian for home use, based on its system for updates. After I get it installed I will go through the book again, to repeat the exercises on this system and pick up some extra points that I missed in the first pass.

I presently run Windows XP at home but have become increasingly frustrated with it and hope to be able to run Linux exclusively in due course, but in the short run, it will be dual boot. I was very happy to find that Windows users are not shoo-ed away, the book is very accessible to any computer user. Nobody is disciminated.

My overall impression of Linux so far is very positive, based only on the number of available guides and HOWTO's. If this guide is an indication of the other information out there, I am going to be very happy running Linux.
