Linux All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies gives you eight different quickreference guides in a single book. Taken together, these eight minibooks provide detailed information on installing, configuring, and using Linux. What you’ll like most about this book is that you don’t have to read it sequentially chapter by chapter, or for that matter, even the sections in a chapter. You can pretty much turn to the topic you want and quickly get the answer to your pressing questions about Linux, be it about using the OpenOffice.org word processor or setting up the Apache Web server.

Here are some of the things you can do with this book:

✦ Install and configure Linux — Debian, Fedora Core, Knoppix, MEPIS,

SUSE, Ubuntu, or Xandros — from the DVD-ROM included with the book.

(You can use Knoppix by simply booting from the DVD.)

✦ Connect the Linux PC to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem.

✦ Set up dialup networking with PPP.

✦ Add a wireless Ethernet to your existing network.

✦ Get tips, techniques, and shortcuts for specific uses of Linux, such as

• Setting up and using Internet services: Web, Mail, News, FTP, NFS,

and DNS.

• Setting up a Windows server using Samba.

• Using Linux commands.

• Using Perl, shell, and C programming on Linux.

• Using the OpenOffice.org office suite and other applications that

come with Linux.

✦ Understand the basics of system and network security.

✦ Perform system administration tasks.
