| Linux in a Nutshell covers the core commands available on common
Linux distributions. This isn't a scaled-down quick reference of common
commands, but a complete reference to all user, programming,
administration, and networking commands.
Contents include:
- Programming, system administration, and user commands with
complete lists of options
- LILO and Loadlin (boot) options
- Shell syntax and variables for the bash, csh, and
tcsh
shells
- Pattern matching
- Emacs and vi editing commands
- sed and gawk commands
- Common configuration tasks for the GNOME and KDE desktops and the
fvwm2 window manager
- Red Hat and Debian package managers
New material in the third edition includes common configuration
tasks for the GNOME and KDE desktops and the fvwm2 window
manager, the dpkg Debian package manager, an expanded
investigation of the rpm Red Hat package manager and CVS,
and many new commands.
Linux in a Nutshell is a must for any Linux user; it weighs less
than a stack of manual pages, but delivers everything needed for
common, day-to-day use. It also covers a wide range of GNU tools for
Unix users who have GNU versions of standard Unix tools.
