Master All the Techniques You Need to Succeed with Fedora (TM) or Red Hat (R) Enterprise Linux (R)
The #1 Fedora and RHEL resource-a tutorial AND on-the-job reference

Brand-new chapter on Virtual Machines and Cloud Computing!
In this comprehensive guide, one of the world's leading Linux experts brings together all the knowledge and real-world insights you need to master and succeed with today's versions of Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Best-selling author Mark Sobell explains Linux clearly and effectively, focusing on skills you'll actually need as a user, programmer, or administrator.
Sobell assumes no prior Linux knowledge. He starts at the beginning and walks you through every topic and task that matters, using easy-to-understand examples. Step by step, you'll learn how to install and configure Linux from the accompanying DVD, navigate its graphical user interface, provide file/printer sharing, configure network servers, secure Linux desktops and networks, work with the command line, administer Linux efficiently, and automate administration using Python and bash.
Mark Sobell has taught hundreds of thousands of Linux and UNIX professionals. He knows every Linux nook and cranny-and he never forgets what it's like to be new to Linux. Whatever you want to do with Linux-now or in the future-you'll find it in this book.
