Résumé

This fast-paced, version-independent reference examines key issues in the proper planning, installation, and customization of Red Hat Linux as it guides network engineers with knowledge of UNIX through the critical steps. As they progress through the book, readers will learn to:

Partition a hard disk and optimize swap space options
Create Linux boot and rescue disks
Install and configure Linux on SCSI and IDE drives, or via an NFS connection
Configure video settings, as well as local or remote printing
Use RPMs to upgrade and install applications
Upgrade a Linux kernel
Download a kernel source file from the Internet
Configure basic and crucial kernel options
Modify LILO to boot from a new kernel
And more

The book's blend of real-world exercises and quizzes (with answers) - plus helpful notes, warnings, and workarounds - conveys insights the authors have gleaned from their experiences "in the trenches" as system administrators, professional trainers and consultants. Additional technical information and value-added resources are available to readers at the publisher's Web site.
