From the Back Cover

"...I am indebted to Mark for helping me to learn UNIX and now for helping to make Linux accessible to more people...I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning and using Linux."

Linus Torvalds
Father of Linux

"Finally, a Linux 'tome' I will recommend to friends. Mark knows Linux well, and presents it clearly. In a book primarily and successfully aimed at new users, he has succeeded in teaching me more about my favorite environment -- and I'm paid to be an expert."

Michael K. Johnson
Software Developer, Red Hat Software
(Former Editor, Linux Journal)

Condition: Near Fine. Estimates have it that there are over three million Linux users worldwide b ecause besides Linux being very good, it is free. Linus Torvalds developed Linux and placed it on the Internet protected by "copyleft," which means an yone can use the original source code, but they must also place any develop ed code in the public domain for others to use. This book is not for comput ing beginners but is instead for advanced users who are new to installing a nd running Linux. The book includes an introduction to Linux installation a nd discussions of file structure, editing, shell programming, and utility p rograms such as regular expression searching, help, emulators, and POSIX st andards.
