Synopsis
A multi-tasking OS with a visual, user-friendly interface, Linux has moved beyond its core of die-hard fans and into the mainstream. Red Hat Linux, the leading version of this open-source, Unix-based OS, lets you run both its own powerful productivity apps and versions of popular programs such as Netscape Navigator and Corel WordPerfect. With Red Hat Linux 6: Visual QuickPro Guide, you can go straight to work with Linux, as you learn it.
Red Hat Linux 6: VQP follows the same visual approach as the books in the immensely popular Visual QuickStart series--it features clear, jargon-free explanations and instructions, plenty of screenshots--but is aimed at intermediate to advanced readers. Author Harold Davis teaches you what you need to know to get the most out of Red Hat Linux: how to navigate and configure the Gnome desktop, work with its native (and non-native) apps, use the command line, and set up network and Web servers.

From the Back Cover
Voted "Best Operating System" of 1996 by InfoWorld magazine, Linux is finally going mainstream. It has a strong core of die-hard fans worldwide and has recently been picked as the system of choice in large corporations and government organizations such as Wells Fargo and the U.S. Postal Service. This free and open system, which puts a stable UNIX environment on PCs and networks, has been hailed as perhaps the only credible challenge to the Windows monopoly.
Linux: Visual QuickPro Guide keeps the visual approach that has won millions of fans for the Visual QuickStart series, but is aimed at intermediate to advanced readers who want to learn Linux without having to wade through 600 pages of dense text. Harold Davis, author of a number of books on Visual Basic and other computing topics, brings readers the basics of Linux with clear, jargon-free explanations and instructions, along with plenty of screenshots.
