SUSE Linux 10 For Dummies (Computer/Tech)

SUSE Linux 10 For Dummies (Computer/Tech), 9780471754930 (0471754935), For Dummies, 2005

SUSE Linux is an increasingly popular Linux distribution that competes headon
with Red Hat’s Linux versions. SUSE Linux’s fortunes have been on the
rise following Novell’s acquisition of Germany’s SUSE Linux AG and the recent
initiation of the openSUSE project (www.opensuse.org) — an open source
project, sponsored by Novell, in which a community of developers, end users,
and other open source enthusiasts can participate and continue to evolve SUSE
Linux. The recent migration to the openSUSE community-based development
model has generated a distinct “buzz” around SUSE Linux as the up-and-coming
Linux distribution for everyone from home users to enterprise servers.

A significant factor in SUSE Linux’s increasing popularity is that unlike its
competitor Red Hat’s singular focus on the enterprise market, Novell continues
to address both the enterprise market and Linux enthusiasts. Specifically,
the SUSE Linux open source software (OSS) is aimed at small-office/home-office
users as well as those wishing to experiment with the SUSE Linux as their
desktop system. The commercial version of SUSE Linux is sold as a boxed set
through distributors as well as online stores. SUSE Linux is a complete Linux
distribution, suitable for small office/home office or even an enterprise. This
book includes a DVD with SUSE Linux 10 OSS, with everything you need to
use it as a personal desktop system.

If you are starting out with SUSE Linux, you need a beginner’s guide that not
only gets you going with the installation and setup of SUSE Linux, but also
shows you how to use all the tools that come with your desktop. That’s why I
wrote SUSE Linux 10 For Dummies in plain English, using a breezy style, that
quickly gets to the step-by-step instructions for accomplishing a task, be it
installing a printer or crafting a memo with OpenOffice.org Writer. My goal is to
minimize confusion and keep things as simple as possible. I present the essential
steps for specific tasks, but avoid inundating you with too many details.
