Présentation de l'éditeur
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 containing 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 techniques for customizing the GNOME and KDE desktops and the fvwm2 window manager; the dpkg Debian Package Manager; an expanded discussion 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 gives you everything you need for common, day-to-day use.
