to install Linux on a personal computer and use it productively for business
or pleasure, and also gain valuable Unix skills that are much in demand
in today's job market.
This book comes with the RED HAT LINUX V6 CD - a rock-solid Linux product, and tons of free software. You get the GNOME GUI, Apache Web Server and lots of games like Doom, GNU Chess, Tetris and Xlander. For programmers, there's Perl, C++, Tcl/Tk, compilers and databases. There are also tools to access DOS files - even run DOS and Windows apps under Linux. Because the online world is built on Unix, Linux is the best PC operating system for accessing the Internet.
