We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Running Linux, Second Edition" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Linux is the most exciting development today in the UNIX world -- and some would say in the world of the PC-compatible. A complete, UNIX-compatible operating system developed by volunteers on the Internet, Linux is distributed freely in electronic form and for low cost from many vendors. Its software packages include the X Window System (X11R6); TCP/IP networking (including SLIP, PPP, and NFS support); popular software tools such as Emacs and TeX; a complete software development environment including C, C++, Perl, Tcl/Tk, and more; libraries, debuggers, multimedia support, scientific and database applications, and much more. Developed first on the PC, it has been ported to many other architectures, and a POSIX-compliant version has even been developed.Running Linux explains everything you need to understand, install, and start using the Linux operating system. This includes a comprehensive installation tutorial, complete information on system maintenance, tools for document development and programming, and guidelines for network and Web site administration.New topics in the second edition include: Printer configuration, management, and use Configuration of network clients for NFS and NIS Expanded information on configuring a wide range of hardware devices Updated configuration information for the kernel and XFree86
