Linux Books

Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've searched for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

fedora.jpgFedora 12, codenamed Constantine, is released! Just for the info, Fedora is an RPM based Linux Distribution, an Operating System in other words, developed by the community supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora contains only free and Open Source software. Some of Fedora's 12 new features are Gnome 2.28, KDE 4.3, better web cam support!, and many others. Finally presto is enabled by default which means smaller updates to be downloaded and faster updates also!

If you haven't done already download Fedora dvd , install it and let's move on to our system's configuration part. I hope this guide will help you learn the basics of Fedora Linux!

** Note: With the help of other Fedora users my previous Fedora 11 guide has been translated to Simplified Chinesse and Arabic. If someone is interested on translating this Fedora 12 guide to another language I would be glad to host it here. Just contact me through Contact Us .

Here are the current translations:

** Note: If you are unfamiliar with Linux console or if you want to learn more about Linux commands you can take a look at my Basic Linux Commands guide.

** Note: The text editor I've been using in this guide is GNOME's default, gedit. If you are using KDE you may use kate. Of course the terminal based text editors, nano and vi, are always nice choices for those who prefer and are familiar with the Linux console.
