    LINUX: Beginner's Crash Course
    Your Step-By-Step Guide To Learning The Linux Operating System And Command Line Easy & Fast!

    Linux is the ruler of data centers. Ever since Linux burst on the operating system scene in the mid -90s, it has seen a steady increase in popularity. Though desktop users never really warmed up to it, its phenomenal success in the server market is the stuff of fairytales. Linus Torvalds could have never predicted that his brainchild would grow so big!

    There are many numbers of Linux flavors to choose from. Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, CenTOS Fedora, SUSE, these are all very popular with large organizations as well as web-hosting services.

    Open source has come of age and has become all pervasive. More and more organizations are choosing the Linux route because of the robust technology and also because licensing issues are minimum. From a security point of view, Linux is a better OS to use on a critical server, because it lets users fine tune how precisely it is set up. Unlike a Windows environment, which is riddled with big security holes by default, Linux provides a much more secure and hardened OS.

    With cloud-based infrastructure gaining ground everywhere, Linux dominance is here to stay. Any IT administrator worth his salt needs to have solid Linux skills to survive and grow today.

      This book is just a brief overview. You could probably find this information in a web search. But if you just want to spend a few minutes knowing what Linux is, then go ahead. If you have installed Linux and know a bit about command lines, then skip it.

      Not really a crash course. I think it's for those guys who know something about Linux.

    LINUX - Jeremy Li

    Introduction

    Before we discuss Linux in detail, let us try to understand the term Open Source software development.

    Open source has come of age and has been around for a long time. For many computer and technology junkies, the thought of dabbling with this type of software was something unacceptable. Things have changed over the years, and even though there is still major opposition in many camps, this brand of software has had a major impact in changing our world. Many of us might be using open source without even being aware of it.

    When we speak of operating systems, the first names that tend to come to mind are Microsoft Windows or OS X. There is another major role player in this field that is being used by more users everyday. The Linux operating system has become a popular alternative to the other more well-known commercial operating systems. Many of the more established flavors of Linux release upgrades of their operating system every six months.

    We are living in an age where cellphones are visible wherever we go. A few years ago the cellular industry had a major new brand of the phone which hit the scene. This was the smartphone. Besides all of the ordinary capabilities associated with a normal cellphone, smartphones have many features which were formerly only found in computers. Open source has even made its entrance here as well. Certain smartphone manufacturers have adopted Android as their operating system of choice, and are making major strides in this hotly contested arena.
