Beginning SUSE Linux: From Novice to Professional

Cash'n'Carrion Thomas Keir's book starts by explaining the background of Linux, then shows how to install the software on your system, use the basic functions, and tweak its look and feel. The book is packed with troubleshooting features to ensure that even the most cautious beginner feels comfortable. It then goes on to look at more advanced topics, reproducing the kinds of tasks you might be familiar with under SUSE Linux, whether that's listening to audio CDs and watching video files, word processing and other office tasks, or just keeping your system in top shape.

Beginning SUSE Linux: From Novice to Professional will give you an in-depth understanding of the heart of Linux - mastering the command-line prompt, setting up your firewall and other security measures, scheduling backups, managing users, and much more.
