Before you can set up Linux networking, you need to install the operating system. For intermediate or less savvy computer users, this task can be daunting. This guide takes you step by step through the installation and configuration of the Slackware version of Linux. It includes chapters on Linux tools (actually Unix tools); XFree installation; applications such as Emacs, Xedit, and Xpaint; and Linux system administration. In addition, the book contains three chapters on networking and a whole section on Linux programming.

If you are starting from scratch with little knowledge of Linux or Unix, you will find this book very helpful. However, you will probably also require another book to set up your network, especially if you want to access the Internet or provide dial-up services to your users.

The guide includes two CD-ROMs packed with software. Besides the Linux Slackware version 3.3, the CDs contain C and C++ programming tools, Unix text-editing tools, X Windows applications, IBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility Specifications) support, games, and much more. --Robert Frankland --This text refers to the paperback edition of of this title
