Installing and using your own Linux system does not require a great
|
|
deal of background in UNIX. In fact, many UNIX novices successfully
|
|
install Linux on their systems. This is a worthwhile learning experience,
|
|
but keep in mind that it can be very frustrating to some. If you're
|
|
lucky, you will be able to install and start using your Linux system
|
|
without any UNIX background. However, once you are ready to delve
|
|
into the more complex tasks of running Linux---installing new
|
|
software, recompiling the kernel, and so forth---having background
|
|
knowledge in UNIX is going to be a necessity.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Fortunately, by running your own Linux system you will be able to
|
|
learn the essentials of UNIX necessary for these tasks. This
|
|
book contains a good deal of information to help you get
|
|
started---Chapter <A HREF="node93.html#chaptutorialnum">3</A> is a tutorial covering
|
|
UNIX basics, and Chapter <A HREF="node155.html#chapsysadmnum">4</A> contains information
|
|
on Linux system administration. You may wish to read these chapters
|
|
before you attempt to install Linux at all---the information contained
|
|
therein will prove to be invaluable should you run into problems.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Nobody can expect to go from being a UNIX novice to a UNIX system
|
|
administrator overnight. No implementation of UNIX is expected to run
|
|
trouble- and maintenance-free. You must be aptly prepared for the journey
|
|
which lies ahead. Otherwise, if you're new to UNIX, you may very well
|
|
become overly frustrated with the system.
