"This book explains Linux clearly and effectively - with a focus on features you care about, from system security and Internet, server setup to Windows file/printer sharing. Best selling author Mark Sobell starts at the beginning and walks you through everything that matters, from installing Linux using the included DVD to working with CNOME, KDE, Samba, sendmail, Apache, DNS, NIS, and iptables."
