This book contains the following chapters.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chapter <A HREF="node8.html#chapintro">1</A>, <em>Introduction to Linux</em>, gives a general
|
|
introduction to what Linux is, what it can do for you, and what is required to
|
|
run it on your system. It also provides helpful hints for getting help
|
|
and reducing overall stress.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chapter <A HREF="node50.html#chapinstall">2</A>, <em>Obtaining and Installing Linux</em>, explains how
|
|
to obtain the Linux software, as well as how to install it---from
|
|
repartitioning your drive, creating filesystems, and loading the software on
|
|
the system. It contains instructions meant to be general for any distribution
|
|
of Linux, and relies on the documentation provided for your particular
|
|
release to fill in any gaps.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chapter <A HREF="node93.html#chaptutorial">3</A>, <em>Linux Tutorial</em>, is a complete
|
|
introduction to using the Linux system for UNIX novices. If you have
|
|
previous UNIX experience, most of this material should be familiar.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chapter <A HREF="node155.html#chapsysadm">4</A>, <em>System Administration</em>, introduces many
|
|
of the important concepts of system administration under Linux. This will
|
|
also be of interest to UNIX system administrators who want to know about
|
|
the Linux-specific issues of running a system.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chapter <A HREF="node197.html#chapadvanced">5</A>, <em>Advanced Features</em>, introduces the
|
|
reader to a number of advanced features supported by Linux, such
|
|
as the X Window System and TCP/IP networking. A complete guide to
|
|
configuring XFree86-3.1 is included.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A>, <em>Sources of Linux Information</em>,
|
|
is a listing of other sources of information about Linux, including
|
|
newsgroups, mailing lists, online documents, and books.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node234.html#appvendornum">B</A>, <em>Linux Vendor List</em>,
|
|
provides a short list of software vendors offering Linux software
|
|
and services.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node235.html#appftp">C</A>, <em>FTP Tutorial and Site List</em>, is a tutorial for
|
|
downloading files from the Internet with FTP. This appendix also
|
|
includes a listing of FTP archive sites which carry Linux software.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node243.html#appbbs">D</A>, <em>Linux BBS List</em>, is a listing of
|
|
bulletin board systems worldwide which carry Linux software. Because
|
|
most Linux users are do not have access to the Internet, it is
|
|
important that information on BBS systems becomes available.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node246.html#appgpl">E</A>, <em>The GNU General Public License</em>, contains
|
|
a copy of the GNU GPL, the license agreement under which Linux is
|
|
distributed. It is very important that Linux users understand the GPL;
|
|
many disagreements over the terms of the GPL have been raised in
|
|
recent months.
