>This guide is part of the Linux Documentation Project and aims to be the foundation for all other materials that you can get from
|
|
the Project. As such, it provides you with the fundamental
|
|
knowledge needed by anyone who wants to start working with a Linux system, while at
|
|
the same time it tries to consciously avoid re-inventing the hot water. Thus, you
|
|
can expect this book to be incomplete and full of links to sources of additional
|
|
information on your system, on the Internet and in your system documentation.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The first chapter is an introduction to the subject on Linux; the next two discuss
|
|
absolute basic commands. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss some more advanced but still basic
|
|
topics. Chapter 6 is needed for continuing with the rest, since it discusses editing
|
|
files, an ability you need to pass from Linux newbie to Linux user. The following
|
|
chapters discuss somewhat more advanced topics that you will have to deal with in
|
|
everyday Linux use.</P
|
|

|
|
>All chapters come with exercises that will test your preparedness for the next chapter.</P
