Catch the latest Linux technology with Fedora 10
When the free software world improves its offerings, you can be among the first to try them using Fedora. As the basis for the popular enterprise-quality Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora can be your stepping stone to a lucrative career with Linux. Install, configure, and use Fedora as anything from a desktop to an Internet server.
Set up Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux to:
- Try new or improved features such as FirstAidKit, ext4 file systems, fast start-up, and connection sharing
- Navigate your computer with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, or Online Desktops
- Manage and use documents, spreadsheets, presentations, music, and images
- Connect easily to your network with NetworkManager
- Draw from massive online Fedora and third-party software repositories
- Build an Internet server with e-mail, Web, DNS, FTP, and database services
About the Authors
Christopher Negus has been working with UNIX systems, the Internet, and (most recently) Linux systems for more than two decades. During that time, Chris worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories, UNIX System Laboratories, and Novell, helping to develop the UNIX operating system. Features from many of the UNIX projects Chris worked on at AT&T have found their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and other Linux systems.
Chris is the author of all editions of what started out as Red Hat Linux Bible, which because of the name changes of Red Hat's Linux projects has evolved into the book you are holding. Most recently, Chris co-authored four books in the Linux Toolbox series: Fedora Linux Toolbox, Ubuntu Linux Toolbox, SUSE Linux Toolbox, and BSD UNIX Toolbox (Wiley Publishing). Before that, Chris authored Linux Bible 2008 Edition and co-wrote Linux Troubleshooting Bible and Linux Toys II for Wiley Publishing. For Prentice Hall, Chris authored Live Linux CDs and co-authored the Official Damn Small Linux Book, as part of the Negus Live Linux Series.
Today, Chris works as a Linux instructor for Red Hat, Inc. and has achieved certification as a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).
Eric Foster-Johnson is a veteran programmer who works daily with Linux, Unix, and Windows and other operating systems. By day, he writes enterprise Java software for ObjectPartners, a Minnesota consulting firm. He has authored and co-authored a number of Linux and Unix titles including Red Hat RPM Guide, Teach Yourself Linux, Teach Yourself Unix and Perl Modules.
