Description
Hailed in previous editions for its user-friendliness, this third edition of Linux Universe contains the newest Linux Kernel 2.0.25 on two fully configured CD-ROMs for easy installation. The new edition contains several powerful new features, including Java SDK (binary), Xemacs, Netatalk (Appletalk connectivity), and IP firewall administration tools.
"The graphical configuration utility is simple to use and seems to work well. It works quickly and intelligently. When filling out the networking configuration, for example, it guesses most of the information once you type in the IP address." -LINUX JOURNAL
