An indispensable working resource for IT professionals moving to Linux-based
network systems
This new edition of Linda and Al McKinnon's book satisfies a
long-standing need among IT professionals for a comprehensive guide to
installing and administering Linux-topics usually covered in a more superficial
manner as parts of larger Linux references. In addition to providing complete
step-by-step installation instructions, this fast-paced guide shows readers how
to perform all essential administrative tasks, including creating users and
passwords, managing files and directories, and customizing the environment.
Readers also learn how to make the most of Linux Shells and utilities, use the
vi editor, and much more.
Responding to the ongoing needs of IT professionals
for current and reliable information on the latest technologies, Wiley Computer
Publishing introduces the Gearhead Press titles. These books, written by
accomplished trainers in their respective fields, focus on real-world examples
and case studies to give readers the best information on leading topics.
The
Gearhead Press titles are characterized by two imprints: In the Trenches and
Point to Point-both series include fast-paced books written by fellow IT
professionals who have been there and done that.
In the Trenches books
introduce technologies, guide readers to proficiency, and serve as practical,
hands-on references after the initial tasks are accomplished. The Point to Point
titles invite readers to join an IT team at a model company and implement
technologies in real-world environments-demonstrating actual problems and
solutions
