Welcome to Fedora Linux : A Complete Guide to Red Hats Community Distribution . Ive based this book on the premise that the best way to learn Linux is to use it; each lab deals with a specific task or problem and starts with solutions. It then expands the discussion to explain the principles underlying the solutions and shows you where you can learn more about the topic if you want to dig deeper. Although the labs do build on each other in some small ways, I expect that most readers will jump from lab to lab according to their needs and interests rather than read the book linearly from front to back. Where appropriate, I have have included both graphical user interface and command-line techniques; use whichever approach suits your needs and style.
This book is written for experienced computer users, regardless of their previous experience with Linux. It covers both desktop and server configurations, and is ideally suited to an administrator or power user migrating to Fedora Linux from another environment, such as Windows, Mac OS X, or Unix.
This book is targeted at Fedora Core 6 but will also be useful to users of Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 7. Fedora is more than an operating system; it includes a wide range of applications, programming languages, and tools, and many of these packages are the subject of their own books. This book does not cover each topic in exhaustive detail; instead, it is designed to give you the most critical information in an accessible format and show you how the packages work within the context of Fedora.
At the time of writing, Fedora Core 6 was being finalized; my apologies for the inevitable little discrepancies between the screenshots and descriptions in this book and the final version of Fedora Core 6.
Each chapter in this book contains a number of labs. Each lab covers a task or problem and contains four sections:
A description of techniques that may be used to accomplish the task or solve the problem
How Does It Work?An explanation of how the solution and the underlying technology work
What About...An exploration of related concepts and ideas
Where Can I Learn More?Pointers to additional information if you want to dig into the topic in greater detail
The labs are grouped into 10 chapters:
Covers the installation of Fedora Core using a variety of installation media and methods.
Introduces the use of Fedora on the desktop, including the use and customization of the GNOME and KDE graphical user interfaces and the configuration of basic features such as the display and printing.
Deals with the issues specific to using Fedora on a notebook computer, including power management, hopping between networks, and configuring external video for presentations.
Covers basic system management tasks, including user and group administration, file management, remote access, and service configuration.
Discusses package managementadding, removing, and updating softwareand shows you how to take advantage of the thousands of packages available through Fedoras software repositories.
Deals with storage administration using logical volume management and RAID arrays. It also covers data backup, including unattended overnight backups.
Is the server chapter. It covers the Samba file server (compatible with Windows systems), as well as DHCP, DNS, web, email, and print services. Web-based applications including Wikis and webmail round out the coverage.
Deals with security using Fedoras security facilities including SELinux, PAM, and ACLs.
Discusses the Fedora community and how you can become involved.
Deals with advanced installation options, including resizing a Windows partition to make room for Fedora, automating the installation process with Kickstart, and using Xen virtualization.
Since this is a hands-on book, youll want to have a computer available on which to run Fedora. Although you can use these labs with a production system, its a good idea to use a noncritical machine so that you can freely experiment. And although its not required, a good Internet connection is very helpful because it makes it easy to obtain software updates.
If you have Fedora installed, thats greatbut if you dont, will take you through the process.
