Hands-On Linux is the perfect combination for Linux enthusiasts who want both a complete tutorial and reference on Linux as well as a comprehensive Linux software starter kit. This unique package combines Mark Sobell's excellent book A Practical Guide to Linux with the latest Linux distribution from Caldera and Netscape's popular Navigator browser and FastTrack Web server. Together, OpenLinux Lite, FastTrack Server, and Navigator Gold provide a powerful suite of easy-to-use tools for running personal or workgroup Web sites.




Written by the best-selling author of A Practical Guide to the UNIX System, Mark Sobell wrote this excellent tutorial and user's guide for the Linux V2.0 that is compatible with all distributions. Tutorial section covers a broad range of topics, focusing on understanding and using Linux. Comprehensive and detailed reference section guides you from logon through utilities, vi/emacs editors and explains the file system, directories, links, and permissions. User will learn about shell scripting, Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), networking and internet connectivity. The reference section describes utility programs grouped by function and includes parameters, notes, explanations, and examples. Tutorial concludes with a good exposition and guide to system administration and problem resolution duties. This text is far superior to the man page copies we have seen, and definitely recommended.
