Suse Linux Integration Guide for IBM Elogo Server Xseries and Netfinity, 9780738419862 (0738419869), IBM Press, 2000

This redbook will help you install, tailor and configure the SuSE Linux 7.0 distribution on different servers of the xSeries and Netfinity class. You will be instructed on how to do the basic installation, and installing and configuring different services such as Apache (http-Server), Samba (Fileserver for Windows-based networks), and Postfix (an alternative to Sendmail), backup and recovery, and several other servers.

Linux is a very mature and stable operating system but the Linux kernel is constantly being updated in order to make the operating system better. This can make it difficult for Linux beginners, so be prepared for a bumpy ride and a steep learning curve. But it is worth the effort and, as they say at SuSE, don’t forget to have a lot of fun...

IBM was early to recognize the value of Linux, investing in Linux-related product development, forming alliances with key Linux distributors, contributing to the open-source community, and aggressively supporting the platform. IBM believes this investment will benefit its customers as they continue to exploit Linux for their IT infrastructures and e-business applications.
