Learn How to Set Up and Configure Linux from Scratch！
This book has been created to guide you through your very first steps in the Linux environment， whether you are a complete novice or need an in-depth refresher in Linux。
Linux has become one of the most popular open source programs in the world， with capabilities that rival the best paid operating systems on the market。 Due to its high flexibility and stability， it is used for text processing， graphic design， desktop publishing， calculations， communication， and even interfaces for appliances。 From movie making and engineering， to military and astronautics， Linux is used everywhere。
This book takes a detailed look at the Linux diversity and history， installing and configuring a Linux system， as well as the infamous command line。 It also addresses specific topics such as choosing a distribution， adding a graphical user interface， package management， navigating the filesystem and directories， partitioning， software selection， and using the help system。
By the end of this book you will be able to set up and configure Linux from start to finish， and be able to use Linux at a proficient level。
What This Book Offers

Linux is the second book of Clark's I've read， and he hasn't let me down。 I'm a complete programming novice and even I could understand and learn all there is to know about Linux。 His explanations are clear and concise， I had no trouble following along。 Mr。 Clark is my one stop shop in solving all my questions as a novice programmer。 I had only one caveat: some of the darker illustrations were difficult to view on my Kindle （7th gen）， however， it could simply be my kindle and didn't lessen my ab Linux is the second book of Clark's I've read， and he hasn't let me down。 I'm a complete programming novice and even I could understand and learn all there is to know about Linux。 His explanations are clear and concise， I had no trouble following along。 Mr。 Clark is my one stop shop in solving all my questions as a novice programmer。 I had only one caveat: some of the darker illustrations were difficult to view on my Kindle （7th gen）， however， it could simply be my kindle and didn't lessen my ability to take away my new found knowledge of Linux。 。。。more
