Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) is a project that
continues where the Linux From Scratch book finishes. It introduces and
guides the reader through additions to the system
including networking, graphical interfaces, sound support, and printer
and scanner support.
This is a really comprehensive book providing a wealth
of information on:
Linux 101 Hacks is a 12 chapter, 140 page manual which
explains easy to follow Linux commands. Ramesh Natarajan describes how
to use these
commands, with clear and concise examples.
This book is a broad overview of 'living' on the Linux
command line. Unlike some books that concentrate on just a single
program, such as the shell, bash, this
book will try to convey how to get along with the command line
interface in a larger sense. How does it all work? What can it do?
What's the best way to use it?
The book is divided into the following parts:
Learning The Shell starts the exploration of the
basic language of the command line including such things as the
structure of commands, file system navigation, command line
editing, and finding help and documentation for
commands
Configuration And The Environment covers editing
configuration files that control the computer's operation from
the command line
Common Tasks And Essential Tools explores many of the
ordinary tasks that are commonly performed from the command
line. Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, contain many
'classic' command line programs that are used to perform powerful
operations on data
Writing Shell Scripts introduces shell programming,
an admittedly rudimentary, but easy to learn, technique for automating
many common computing tasks. By learning shell programming, you will
become familiar with
concepts that can be applied to many other programming languages
Linux Sea offers a gentle yet technical (from end-user
perspective) introduction to the Linux operating system, using Gentoo
Linux as the example Linux distribution.
Topics covered include:
What is Linux / How does Free Software affect Linux
The Role of the Community / Running Linux
The Linux File System / Working with Processes
Configuring a Linux Kernel / Hardware Support
Software Management / User Management
Network Management / Service Management / Storage
Management / System Management
