Preface
Preface
Lately it seems that two topics crop up in conversation after conversation: the
stock market and Linux. As for the stock market, I'm something of a pessimist.
When friends and even perfect strangers continually recount their recent
financial successes, I conclude that a stock market correction is overdue. (I've
shifted my investments to bonds.)
As for Linux, I'm considerably more - perhaps wildly - optimistic. When my
realtor tells me about the TV feature on Linux she saw on CNN, I see it as a
harbinger of Linux Spring. Like her, my cable TV repairman, and my colleague
in the next office, you've probably heard about Linux from a magazine, radio or
TV program, or a friend. You're wondering what Linux is about and whether
you should give it a try. If so, particularly if you currently use Microsoft
Windows, this book was written for you.
Not long ago, Linux was the plaything of the technical elite. Today, however,
Linux is much easier to use. Every day brings a new tool or feature designed for

Preface
ease of use. If you work with Microsoft Windows and have dabbled a bit in MS-
DOS, or are curious about what happens inside Windows, you can install and
configure Linux. Thousands of people from all walks of life - even journalists,
who are notorious for their technical ineptitude - have already done so.
This book will make your Linux journey easier, by giving you the big picture,
providing you with step-by-step procedures, and getting you started doing
useful or fun activities, such as word processing or games. This book focuses on
the needs of the new Linux user and on desktop Linux applications. You'll learn
about networks and servers, but the details of those topics are left for more
advanced books.
This book includes a CD-ROM that contains Debian GNU/Linux, so you have
in your hand all you need to get started using Linux. Much of the material in
this book applies to Linux generally and not merely to Debian GNU/Linux; so,
even if you prefer to use another Linux distribution, you'll probably find this
book useful.
Organization of This Book
Chapter 1, Why Run Linux? , is designed to introduce you to Linux and help
you determine whether Linux is appropriate for you.
Chapter 2, Preparing to Install Linux , helps you understand what's involved
in installing Linux and guides you through a procedure to gather information
needed to successfully install Linux.
Chapter 3, Installing Linux , takes you step-by-step through the installation of
Linux.
Chapter 4, Issuing Linux Commands , describes the basics of how to use the
Linux command-line interface, which resembles MS-DOS but is much more
powerful and sophisticated.
Chapter 5, Installing and Configuring the X Window System , shows you how
to install and configure X.
Chapter 6, Using the X Window System , shows you how to use X, the
graphical user interface included with Debian GNU/Linux. If you've used
Microsoft Windows, you'll find X familiar and easy to use.
Chapter 7, Configuring and Administering Linux , shows you how to
configure your Linux system. Administering a multi-user operating system such
as Linux is somewhat more complicated than administering a single-user
