Master All the Techniques You Need to Succeed with Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Set up key Internet servers, step by step, including Samba, Apache, sendmail, DNS, FTP, and other Internet servers
Automate and streamline administration with this edition's outstanding new chapter on Perl scripting
Master GUI-based admin tools and the powerful Linux command line (CLI)

In this book, one of the world's leading Linux experts brings together all the knowledge you'll need to succeed with Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux in any real-world environment. Best-selling author Mark Sobell explains Linux clearly and effectively, focusing on skills you'll actually use as an administrator, user, or programmer.

Sobell assumes no prior Linux knowledge. He starts at the beginning and walks you through every topic and task that matters, using easy-to-understand examples. Step by step, you'll learn how to install and configure Linux from the accompanying DVD, navigate its graphical user interfaces, provide file/print sharing and Internet services, make sure Linux desktops and networks are as secure as possible, work with the powerful command line, administer Linux efficiently, and even automate administration with Perl scripts.

Mark Sobell has taught hundreds of thousands of Linux and UNIX professionals. He knows every Linux nook and cranny-and he never forgets what it's like to be new to Linux. Whatever you'll want to do with Linux-now or in the future-this book gives you everything you'll need.
