Written for systems and network administrators, this guide introduces and explores the Linux operating system, beginning with the differences between Windows and Linux and basic skills such as how to install Linux as a server, the KDE and Gnome desktops, installing software, and managing users. The second half of the book describes the services needed to run an Internet site and the services offered only to users on an internal network.
