Description: This guide supplements the System Administrators' Guide and cover all of the
diverse issues of networking under Linux, from UUCP to serial connections to
TCP/IP. Many Linux users won't have access to such a network, so this information
is in a separate manual. It contains an intro to TCP/IP and UUCP (for those who
have never used such networks before, lots of background information), TCP/IP,
UUCP, SLIP, and DNS configuration, configuration of mail systems such as sendmail
and Smail, setting up NNTP and news, and NFS.

Description: This is the third book in the main LDP series, and assumes knowledge of everything

system running, handling user accounts, backups, configuration of the system,
installing and upgrading software, and more. Whereas some of this information is
in the Installation Guide (just to get the system off the ground) this book should
be much more complete.

Version: beta-1
Author(s): Larry Greenfield
Format: Available only in

PDF,
PDF,
PostScript, and
PostScript.
Also available in Non-English translations
Description: This book covers all of the user-end aspects of Linux, from sitting down at the
first login session to using complex tools such as gcc, emacs, and so on. It assumes
no previous Unix experience, so not only will it serve as an introduction to Linux,
but to Unix in general as well. This manual won't cover system administrator
tasks (i.e. anything that needs to be done as root) - it's for the J. Random User
who has a working Linux system sitting in front of them.
In addition to online documentation, there are a wide variety of Linux and
Linux-related books and other
publications available.
Please note: Project Guide descriptions are from the
Linux Documentation Project.
