Résumé

Linux is the ultimate choice for home and business users. It is powerful, as stable as any commercial operating system, secure, and best of all, it is open source. One of the biggest deciding factors for whether to use Linux at home or for your business can be service and support. Because Linux is developed by thousands of volunteers from around the world, it is not always clear who to turn to when something goes wrong.

In the true spirit of Linux, there is a slightly different approach to support than the commercial norm. After all, Linux represents an unparalleled community of experts, it includes industry leading problem determination tools, and of course, the product itself includes the source code. These resources are in addition to the professional Linux support services that are available from companies, such as IBM, and the various Linux vendors, such as Redhat and SUSE. Making the most of these additional resources is called "self-service" and is the main topic covered by this book.

Self-service on Linux means different things to different people. For those who use Linux at home, it means a more enjoyable Linux experience. For those who use Linux at work, being able to quickly and effectively diagnose problems on Linux can increase their value as employees as well as their marketability. For corporate leaders deciding whether to adopt Linux as part of the corporate strategy, self-service for Linux means reduced operation costs and increased Return on Investment (ROI) for any Linux adoption strategy. Regardless of what type of Linux user you are, it is important to make the most of your Linux experience and investment.
