About the Book

Linux: The Textbook is the first true textbook to teach the how and why of working in the Linux environment. Assuming no previous Linux experience, the book tours the Linux user interface to provide insight into the inner workings of the system as well as important Linux concepts. Readers are guided through Linux utilities for process, file, storage, and I/O management, thereby quickly learning to navigate the user interface while broadening their understanding of important operating system principles. This unique presentation-combined with a thorough and systematic coverage of Linux software development tools, Bash and TC shell programming, a glossary, a Linux installation appendix for Caldera, Mandrake, and Red Hat Linux, and a quick-reference appendix on commonly used shell commands and utilities-benefits the beginning student as well as the skilled Linux user. *Designed for an introductory level course covering Linux. *Written in short, well-organized chapters that make the reader focus on a small set of related topics. *Contains an integrated textual and graphical presentation of commands and concepts to enhance understanding of difficult concepts. *Provides in-depth coverage of important Linux commands and concepts. *Carefully blends important Linux concepts, like inter-process communication and I/O redirection, with shell commands to enhance understanding of both. *Includes a chapter on Linux software engineering tools. *Contains carefully designed in-chapter and end-of-chapter exercises for timely practice of new commands and primatives. *Acts as a "Ready Reference" with an appendix that describes commonly used shell commands and utilities with important flags.
