| Summary |
Linux is the most exciting development today in the UNIX world - and some would say in the world of the PC-compatible. Its software packages include the X Window System (X11R6), networking, a complete software development environment, multimedia support, scientific and database applications, and much more. This book is published in conjunction with the Running Linux Companion CD-ROM, which contains the full Red Hat Commercial Linux distribution. The CD-ROM is sold separately for easy upgrading. In short, this book can teach you how to install and maintain your own Linux system. Linux can change the way you see personal computing, with more flexibility and power than any commercial operating system |
