This free ebook details Redhat Securing & Optimizing Linux technology.If you want to take advantage of Linux’s versatility as a server operating system, and do it in the most secure and efficient manner, you can find no better book than this one. In addition to operating system configuration there are many chapters individually dedicated to installing and configuring specific Linux server applications such as Sendmail, SQL server, Apache, BIND, and many more.As an NT Administrator I have read many Linux books trying to bridge my NT knowledge to the Linux and Unix world, this book is by far the best.Most of the Linux books I have read before tell you what to do to administer a Linux server, but they assume that you know how to do it. Gerhard Mourani tells you in detail what to do, how to do it, and why to do it. I have learned a great deal not only about Linux server applications, but about the Linux operating system itself.

This free ebook details about 100 linux tips and tricks used in our day to day life.This book was written for anyone using Linux, from new users to experts who want to explore this wonderful operating system. The tips and tricks in this book were discovered by myself over years of experience using Linux, and learning about it. Some are very basic tips to make your computing life easier, others are advanced tricks that can save you days of work.Installation is a very important part of any operating system. This is why I cover this topic first. The next most important thing is installation of programs and software to get your system to do useful tasks. This chapters covers both of these aspects.Linux is open-source software at it’s finest. Open-source software is all about taking control of your desktop away from the big corporations and putting it into the hands of the developers working with your best interests at heart. The software is freely available on the Internet for you to download you can even help develop the projects if you want to get involved. Decisions about what’s on your desktop aren’t being made based on the profit margins yielded by the software. Instead,the best interests of the user are of primary concern to the developers.
Chapter 1 Introduction
Thus chapter covers the introduction part.
Chapter 2 Installation
These are tips and tricks useful when installing Linux itself or any new program. Some tips will cover new means of installing Linux on non-typical hardware, others will explain how to take Linux distribution from an FTP server and make your own CD-ROM with them.
Chapter 3 Hardware
You will learn tips there on how to get your non-PostScript compatible printer to work, or how to get a sound card detected.
Chapter 4 Software
You will find tips there about all kinds of Linux software,including where to find and how to install the Java Development Kit port, and everything about the Pine mail and news program.
Chapter 5 Networking
There you will see how to setup a PPP connection quickly, without editing all of the configuration files yourself, as well as some nice programs that were made to ease dialup procedures. You will also see tricks on how to make your local LAN network without unexpected problems.
Chapter 6 Development
Here you will find a lot of tips on how to write powerful scripts to make your system easier to handle, and a full overview of what to do and what you don't want to do in C to avoid problems like memory leaks and how to allow easy scalability.
And Linux is also famous for its "programmability." Utilities are designed, by default, to work wtih other utilities within shell programs as a way of automating system tasks. This book contains a superb introduction to Linux shell programming. And since shell programmers need to write their programs in text editors, this book covers the two most popular ones: vi and emacs. A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming gives you an in-depth understanding of how to use Linux from the command line. Regardless of your background, it offers the knowledge you need to get on with your work: You will come away from this book understanding how to use Linux, and this text will remain a valuable reference for years to come.
Students taking a class in which they use Linux

Professionals who use Linux at work
System administrators who need a deeper understanding of Linux and the tools
Computer science students who are studying the Linux operating system
Programmers who need to understand the Linux programming environment
Technical executives who want to get a grounding in Linux
One of the strengths of the book is that it contains lots of places for readers to find information that allows them to take the next step in developing their skills. We don't assume we're going to teach people everything and we want them to develop and grow beyond the knowledge we impart in the book.If you want to implement a
