Description
Now sporting the Bluecurve graphical interface that's transformed the open-sourceOS into a real option for home computer users, Red Hat Linux has seen a multitude of changes since the last edition of this popular guide--and Red Hat Linux 9: Visual QuickPro Guide covers them all. The one thing that hasn't changed, however, in this thoroughly updated volume is the easy visual approach that taught a generation of intermediate to advanced Unix users how to get the most out of Red Hat Linux. Through step-by-step, task-basedinstructions peppered with ample visual aids, readers will be able to go straightto work with Linux as they learn how to navigate and configure the Gnome desktop, work with its native (and non-native) apps, use the command line, set up network and Web servers, and more. There's also loads of information-- concisely and clearly presented--about all that's new in Linux today: a refined installation process, an updated windows-based Gnome desktop, usability enhancements, and more useful end-user applications like OpenOffice andStarOffice.
