Book Description
Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds. Linux is unique from other operating systems because the source code is freely available to all users. This access has allowed Linux to be enhanced and improved by programmers and other technologically savvy experts around the world. Red Hat Software is the leading supporter and developer of Linux and has created associations with Compaq, IBM, Novell, Oracle and others. Red Hat Linux is freely distributable and is available from many sites on the Internet. Written by an experienced Linux administrator, Installing, Configuring, & Customizing Red Hat Linux 6 provides readers with advice to help them work through trouble spots that this flavor of Linux is known for. Step-by-step, using 200 screenshots, this book takes the user through installing and configuring Linux. This book then shows users how to customize Linux to work the way they need it to work.
