Ubuntu Linux Secrets, 2009

Welcome to Ubuntu Linux Secrets. Like all books in the Secrets series, you can expect to
find both hands-on tutorials and real-world practical application information, as well as
reference and background information that provides a context for what you are learning.
This book is a fairly comprehensive resource on the Ubuntu Linux distribution. By the
time you have completed Ubuntu Linux Secrets you will be well-prepared to utilize your
Ubuntu workstation or server to its fullest.
If you’re new to the Linux world, you’ll benefit greatly from this book’s hands-on approach.
The book walks through all of the steps required for setting up an Ubuntu Linux system,
guiding you through the pitfalls and offering practical advice for getting your Ubuntu
workstation up and running. It then walks through all of the applications you’ll find on
your new system, showing you how to use the office productivity software; work with
images, audio and video clips on your desktop; run CDs and DVDs; and interact with
the Internet.
If you’re an advanced Linux enthusiast, you’ll also benefit from Ubuntu Linux Secrets.
Nowadays it’s easy to get lost in the graphical world of prebuilt desktop packages. Most
desktop Linux distributions try their best to hide the Linux system from the typical user.
However, there are times when you have to know what’s going on under the hood. This
book shows you how to use the Ubuntu administration features to manage your system,
including monitoring programs, users, and disk space. It shows how to access the Linux
command-line prompt and what to do once you get there. It also explains how to use your
Ubuntu system as a complete program development platform, discussing how to program
using shell, Perl, and Python scripts; the C, Java, and Ruby programming languages; and
the PHP web-scripting language.
Ubuntu Linux Secrets also walks the seasoned system administrator through how to use
the various server software packages included in the Ubuntu server distribution. It discusses
how to set up a complete web server using both the LAMP and Tomcat web servers
and a database server using the popular MySQL or the feature-rich PostgreSQL database
package, how to interact on a Microsoft Windows network using the Samba software, and
how to create an email server for your home or organization.
