In a new edition published every six months, bestselling author Christopher Negus gives readers the latest information of how to make Linux installation simple and painless; use the Linux shell, file system, and text editor; back up and restore files; and be aware of the latest security issues and threats. This edition addresses the issues faced by people moving to Linux from Windows, with expanded sections on WINE, VMware for getting Windows applications running in Linux, and details on converting documents from Microsoft formats to those used by OpenOffice.org. The companion Web site includes in-depth coverage of NetWare server support, the X Window System, legacy UNIX communications commands, alternative server types (such as wu--ftp FTP server), and more. The accompanying DVD contains the full Fedora Core Linux 6 including all binary code packages and source code. Two CDs feature a customized Fedora LiveCD for troubleshooting Fedora plus lots of Fedora extras.
