With more developers and systems administrators looking to Linux as an inexpensive OS solution for single-user boxes, Web servers and network servers, Linux is becoming a viable alternative to NT or UNIX. This text shows the reader how to use Linux and solve specific problems, and guides users of all levels through the whole of Linux. There are 25 chapters organized into five parts: configuring a Linux system, running Linux, exploiting hardware in Linux, using Linux for fun and profit, and the best of Linux applications and Linux resources.
