About the Book

84237-7 "Consider air. Consider listening to the radio. Consider beers bought by a friend. LINUX combines aspects of all three." David Bonn, Seattle Software LINUX means freedom for business systems. Businesses are discovering that LINUX can bring them powerful, flexible, customizable computing at a fraction of the cost of other UNIXA (R) operating systems. In this in-depth book, Jim Mohr shows how you can use LINUX as your primary operating system at work and at home. LINUX can run on a mere 2 Mb of RAM, yet it is powerful enough to be the operating system behind over 10 percent of WorldWide Web servers. It allows multi-tasking for multiple users, and can run on a network or alone. Best of all, you get direct access to all the source code, so you can tweak it to meet your precise operating needs-and to grow and change with your organization. LINUX User's Resource is not about telling you which buttons to push. Rather, it provides a full introduction to the function and interactions at the heart of the LINUX system. Topics include: *The operating system and its environment. *LINUX shells and utilities. *System installation, administration, monitoring, and upgrading.* Problem solving for business applications. Because LINUX is ideal for Internet entrepreneurs, special focus is given to: *Networking with LINUX. *Building an Internet server. *Doing business on the WorldWide Web. LINUX User's Resource gives you all you need to get your business up and running with LINUX.
