Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours:

While this guide won't make you an expert in Linux, it will explain how to get Red Hat Lin
ux to work and how to do basic things with it. Organized into 24 lessons that take about a
n hour apiece, this book helps you ensure that your system can handle Linux and walks you
through the process of installing Red Hat Linux and the Xfree86 windowing system. Ball's c
overage of installation is rather weak, through paying only cursory attention to this conf
using process. From there, however, Ball hits his stride in detailing the ins and outs of
file-system commands, shells, Internet connections (by PPP), various Internet tools, and a
dministration. For example, in the lesson on graphics programs, Ball explores the most pop
ular graphics program of recent memory: the GNU Image Manipulation Program, affectionately
known to its users as the GIMP. Similarly, he covers the popular but cryptic Emacs in his
lesson on text editing. In brief, this book introduces you to Linux and the world of Unix
tools in a palatable, easy-to-follow way
