Whether you are an end user, a system administrator, or a little of both, this book
explains with step-by-step examples how to get the most out of a Fedora or Red
Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system. In 28 chapters, this book takes you from
installing a Fedora or RHEL system through understanding its inner workings to
setting up secure servers that run on the system.

This book is designed for a wide range of readers. It does not require you to have
programming experience, although having some experience using a general-purpose
computer, such as a Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or other Linux system, is certainly
helpful. This book is appropriate for
• Students who are taking a class in which they use Linux
• Home users who want to set up and/or run Linux
• Professionals who use Linux at work
• System administrators who need an understanding of Linux and the tools
that are available to them including the bash and Perl scripting languages
• Computer science students who are studying the Linux operating system
• Technical executives who want to get a grounding in Linux
