Linux is the most exciting development today in the UNIX world -- and some
would say in the world of the PC-compatible. A complete UNIX- compatible
operating system developed by volunteers on the Internet, Linux is
distributed freely in electronic form and for low cost from many vendors.

Its software packages include the X Window System (X11R6); TCP/IP
networking (including SLIP, PPP, and NFS support); popular software tools
such as Emacs and TeX; a complete software development environment
including C, C++, Perl, Tcl/Tk, and more; libraries, debuggers, multimedia
support, scientific and database applications, and much more.

We have just released _Running Linux_, which covers everything you need in
order to understand, install, and use the Linux operating system,
including:

- The background and concepts of the Linux system.
- A comprehensive installation tutorial that will lead you through the
  steps of configuring Linux on your machine from any distribution.
- A chapter on UNIX basics, designed especially for Linux users.
- Complete information on Linux system administration and maintenance,
  from managing user accounts, to repairing filesystems, to upgrading
  software, to building a new kernel.
- Full installation and configuration information for XFree86 3.1
  (Version 11, release 6 of the X Window System).
- Power tools available for the system, including the X Window System,
  the Emacs and vi editors, text formatting systems such as TeX, and
  tools for interfacing with MS-DOS.
- The programming languages and tools available for Linux, giving you
  a complete software development environment: the gcc C and C++
  compiler, the gdb debugger, and other languages such as Perl and
  Tcl/Tk.
- Network configuration and administration under Linux, including
  TCP/IP, SLIP, UUCP, electronic mail, and serial telecommunications.
- Information on providing network services from your Linux machine,
  including configuration of a World Wide Web server.
