Beginning SUSE Linux: From Novice to Professional Book/DVD Package 2nd Edition
Beginning SUSE Linux, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide to SUSE Linux, one of the most popular Linux distributions available today. This book has been updated from the best-selling first edition to reflect the latest changes made within SUSE version 10. If you're new to Linux, you'll receive an introduction to the world of Linux and the open
source community, followed by a detailed overview of SUSE's installation and configuration process.
From there, you'll learn how to wield total control over your newly installed operating system. The book will guide you through system customization opportunities, and common tasks like listening to audio CDs and MP3s, watching movies, performing office- and Internet-related tasks, and maintaining your system with some general concepts.
An accompanying DVD contains the complete SUSE 10 distribution, so you'll be able to take immediate advantage of this powerful operating system just by inserting the disk into the drive and following along.
