| 7. Linux in a Windows World |
 | Linux still faces numerous challenges before it can dominate the computing world, much less the world at large. One of these challenges is the huge installed base of Windows systems. Linux must coexist with these systems. Indeed, the challenge of coexisting with Windows can be viewed as an opportunity: Linux can be integrated into a Windows network, providing a reliable and low-cost platform on which to run vital services for Windows systems, or even serving as a workstation on an otherwise Windows-dominated network. This book is dedicated to describing this opportunity for Linux.
Covers topics such as:
- Samba - an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients
- OpenLDAP - an implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
- BIND - Berkeley Internet Name Domain
- Kerberos Configuration and Use - Kerberos is a network authentication protocol
- Remote Login Tools such as VNC
- Configuring Mail Servers
- Network Backups
- How to manage a network

| 11. The Linux Command Line |
 | This book is a broad overview of 'living' on the Linux command line. Unlike some books that concentrate on just a single program, such as the shell, bash, this book will try to convey how to get along with the command line interface in a larger sense. How does it all work? What can it do? What's the best way to use it?
The book is divided into the following parts:
- Learning The Shell starts the exploration of the basic language of the command line including such things as the structure of commands, file system navigation, command line editing, and finding help and documentation for commands
- Configuration And The Environment covers editing configuration files that control the computer's operation from the command line
- Common Tasks And Essential Tools explores many of the ordinary tasks that are commonly performed from the command line. Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, contain many 'classic' command line programs that are used to perform powerful operations on data
- Writing Shell Scripts introduces shell programming, an admittedly rudimentary, but easy to learn, technique for automating many common computing tasks. By learning shell programming, you will become familiar with concepts that can be applied to many other programming languages
