UNIX users, and an introduction to system administration. It is meant to be

Anyone with interest in installing and running Linux should read this book
first. This book contains the following chapters:

  1) Introduction to Linux
     gives a general introduction to what Linux is, what it can do for you,
     and what is required to run it on your system. It also provides helpful
     hints for getting help and reducing overall stress.
 
  2) Obtaining and Installing Linux
     explains how to obtain the Linux software, as well as how to install it
     - from repartitioning your drive, creating filesystems, and loading the
     software on the system. It contains instructions meant to be general for
     any distribution of Linux, and relies on the documentation provided for
     your particular release to fill in any gaps.

  3) Linux Tutorial
     is a complete introduction to using the Linux system for UNIX novices.
     If you have previous UNIX experience, most of this material should be
     familiar.

  4) System Administration

     Linux. This will also be of interest to UNIX system administrators who
     want to know about the Linux-specific issues of running a system.

     Linux, such as the X Window System and TCP/IP networking.
