Linux For Dummies 8th edition..

How This Book Is Organized
This book contains six major parts, arranged in an order to take you from
Linux installation and configuration through keeping a Linux desktop system
up and running, if not purring like a cat in the sun! Most parts contain three
or more chapters or appendixes, and each chapter or appendix contains
modular sections. Whenever you need help or information, pick up this book
and start anywhere you like, or use the Table of Contents and the index to
locate specific topics or key words.
Following is a breakdown of the book’s six parts and what you find in
each one.


Part I: Getting Your Feet Wet
This part sets the stage and includes an overview of and introduction to the
terms, techniques, and software components that make Linux the raging software
tiger that’s so ready, willing, and able to do its thing. To be a little more
specific, we start out with a Linux overview that explains what Linux is,
where it came from, and how it works. Next, we tackle the various tasks and
activities involved in preparing for and installing Linux on a PC. After that, we
tell you how to give Linux the boot — not to get rid of it by any means, but
rather, to fire up your brand-new system to reach the heights of computing
ecstasy (at least, we hope it’s as good for you as it usually is for me). Finally,
we help you find your way around the desktop and tweak it some to your
liking.

Part II: Getting Up to Speed with Linux
In this part, you find out how to work in Linux both within and without the
point-and-click world. You discover where various things are stored in your
Linux filesystem and how to navigate your way through it. After you can find
your way around, you’ll see how to find your way out of the system and connect
to the Internet.

Part III: Getting Things Done
Linux includes a great many facilities and capabilities, so after you get past
the initial installation and configuration, you probably want to use your
system to do something. Here’s where the doing begins! In this part of the
book, you find out how to use Internet tools like Web browsers (Firefox!),
e-mail, instant messaging, and more. Then you discover how to edit text files,
and then go whole hog with word processors and other office suite programs
thanks to OpenOffice.org. The fun stuff is in this part too, like how to use
audio and video in the Linux world, and how to access software and formats
that you’re told are only available to Windows users.

Part IV: Junior Administrator Boot Camp
In this part of the book, you discover how to take care of your system. You
see how to handle various file formats, how to install new software, and most
important, how to keep your system updated so it’s not vulnerable. You also
find out about basic system administration tasks like creating and managing
user accounts, caring for your filesystem, setting up printing, and more. Then
you find out a bit about keeping your Linux system secure. Hint: As with any
operating system, the most important thing is keeping it up-to-date!

Part V: The Part of Tens
In this book’s grand climax, we sum up and distill the essence of what you
now know about Linux and its inner workings. Here, you have a chance to
revisit some key troubleshooting tips and tricks for Linux systems, along with
some really fun kinda geeky stuff: setting up your own wireless access point,
setting up a print server that all of your computers can print to, and setting
up a file server that all of your computers can use.

Part VI: Appendixes
This book ends with a set of appendixes designed to sum up and further
expand on this book’s contents. Appendix A delivers groups of Linux commands,
complete with syntax and explanations, arranged according to their
function. Appendix B lists details about what’s on the Linux For Dummies, 8th
Edition, DVD. As we note in this appendix, the materials on the DVD include
the Fedora Core 7 distribution.
