At this time, there are few published works specifically about Linux.
|
|
Most noteworthy are the books from the Linux Documentation
|
|
Project, a project carried out over the Internet to write and distribute
|
|
a bona fide set of ``manuals'' for Linux. These manuals are analogues to
|
|
the documentation sets available with commercial versions of UNIX: they
|
|
cover everything from installing Linux, to using and running the system,
|
|
programming, networking, kernel development, and more.
|
|
<P>

|
|
The Linux Documentation Project manuals are available via anonymous FTP from
|
|
the Internet, as well as via mail order from several sources.
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A> lists the manuals which are available and covers
|
|
means of obtaining them in detail.
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are not many books specifically about Linux currently available.
|
|
However, there are a large number of books about UNIX in general which
|
|
are certainly applicable to Linux---as far as using and programming the
|
|
system is concerned, Linux does not differ greatly from other
|
|
implementations of UNIX. In short, almost
|
|
everything you want to know about using and programming Linux can be found
|
|
in sources meant for a general UNIX audience. In fact, this book is meant
|
|
to be complemented by the large library of UNIX books currently available;
|
|
here, we present the most important Linux-specific details and hope
|
|
that you will look to other sources for more in-depth information.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Armed with a number of good books about using UNIX, as well as the book
|
|
you hold in your hands, you should be able to tackle just about anything.
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A> includes a list of highly-recommended UNIX books,
|
|
both for UNIX newcomers and UNIX wizards alike.
|
|
<P>
|
|
There is also a monthly magazine about Linux, called the <em>Linux Journal</em>.
|
|
It is distributed worldwide, and is an excellent way to keep in touch
|
|
with the many goings-on in the Linux community---especially if you do not
|
|
have access to USENET news (see below). See Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A>
|
|
for information on subscribing to the <em>Linux Journal</em>.
