Excellent No-Charge Linux Books – Learn About Linux – For Beginners

Last Updated on August 22, 2023

Linux in a Windows World

Linux in a Windows WorldLinux 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.
