Abstract

Here's all the information you need to maximize TurboLinux performance and reliability on state-of-the-art IBM eServer xSeries and Netfinity server platforms. In this book, a team of IBM's top Linux experts presents start-to-finish, Netfinity server-specific coverage of TurboLinux 6.0 deployment and system administration throughout the entire system lifecycle!

This redbook is aimed at beginners and intermediate Linux users and for all Windows users who are used to the safe and convenient graphical user interface.

The book covers the installation of TurboLinux 6.0. Once the installation has been completed, the book discusses some basic system administration tools that can help you manage your Linux system. Furthermore, this book provides an introduction to a wide range of services, such as Samba, NFS, and Apache among others. You will learn what each service is, what it is capable of, and how to install it. The services are not covered in detail, since they are very comprehensive. We recommend that you consult additional sources if you need more detailed information. These sources are mentioned during the chapters or at the end of each chapter.
