Linux in a Nutshell by Jessica Hekman
This expanded edition of 'Linux in a Nutshell' features many new commands that appear in major distributions, along with boot parameters, common configuration issues for the GNOME and KDE desktops, and the RPM and Debian package managers.
"This is one desktop companion which confident Linux users simply cannot be without" Linux User, November 2003 "The best way to sum this book up is with the original reviewer's words: "If you don't lock your office, this will be the first thing that a techie colleague will steal!"." Linux Format, September "...anyone serious about Linux programming and administration needs this book...The authors are to be congratulated for the scope of coverage, as here's enough here about both the vi and Emacs editing systems, desktop set-ups and packages, as well as a nod to multimedia use. " - Gary Flood, IT Training, October 2004
Ellen Siever is a writer and editor specializing in Linux and other open source topics. In addition to Linux in a Nutshell, she co-authored Perl in a Nutshell. She is a long-time Linux and Unix user, and was a programmer for many years until she decided that writing about computers was more fun. Stephen Figgins is a computer hacker, animal tracker, musician and student of the humanities. His ambition is to gain a deep and powerful native awareness of both the Noosphere and the Biosphere and share that with others. For five years he made his living as O'Reilly's book answer guy, drinking in the knowledge contained in their tomes. Now, having returned to the valley of the Kaw River on the eastern edge of the free state of Kansas, he uses his knowledge to make a living as a writer, editor and consultant. Aaron Weber is a technical writer for Ximian, Inc. and wrote the manual for Ximian Evolution, Red Carpet, and Red Carpet Enterprise, as well as a section on GNOME in Running Linux. He's also published in Interex Enterprise Solutions (interex.com) and Boston's Weekly Dig (www.weeklydig.com), and is the host of secretlyironic.com.
