Fourth Edition

Considered by many to be the most complete and authoritative command reference for Linux system use, administration, and programming, this expanded edition of Linux in a Nutshell features many new commands that appear in major distributions, along with boot parameters, common configuration issues for the GNOME and KDE desktops, and the RPM and Debian package managers. This invaluable reference also includes programming tools, system and network administration, editors, shells, and the LILO and GRUB boot options. New topics for the fourth edition incorporate GRUB (the bootloader used in new versions of Red Hat), vim (a popular enhancement to the vi editor), and configuration options for the Postfix mail server. For anything they need to know about Linux, administrators and developers will turn to this book again and again.
