Combining the strengths of a tutorial and a reference, this new book by UNIX expert Mark Sobell gives you the knowledge and skills to master Linux. Uniquely designed for both beginners and experienced users, A Practical Guide to Linux begins with an extensive tutorial to bring those with less experience up to speed, and then quickly progresses to detailed chapters on GUIs, networking, the vi and emacs editors, three popular shells, programming tools, and system administration. Part two is a comprehensive reference, containing descriptions and examples of 87 utilities. The book includes several complete example sessions on downloading and installing Linux-based utilities and other software from the Internet.
