>1.1. Purpose of this document</H2
|
|
><P
|
|
>This document is intended to help Linux and Internet users who are
|
|
learning by doing. While this is a great way to acquire specific skills,
|
|
sometimes it leaves peculiar gaps in one's knowledge of the basics — gaps
|
|
which can make it hard to think creatively or troubleshoot effectively,
|
|
from lack of a good mental model of what is really going on.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>I'll try to describe in clear, simple language how it all works. The
|
|
presentation will be tuned for people using Unix or Linux on PC-class
|
|
machines. Nevertheless, I'll usually refer simply to ‘Unix’
|
|
here, as most of what I will describe is constant across different machines
|
|
and across Unix variants.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>I'm going to assume you're using an Intel PC. The details differ
|
|
slightly if you're running an PowerPC or some other kind of computer, but
|
|
the basic concepts are the same.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>I won't repeat things, so you'll have to pay attention, but that
|
|
also means you'll learn from every word you read. It's a good idea to just
|
|
skim when you first read this; you should come back and reread it a few
|
|
times after you've digested what you have learned.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>This is an evolving document. I intend to keep adding sections in
|
|
response to user feedback, so you should come back and review it
|
|
periodically.</P
