The nine series of articles published on DeveloperWorks guides you how to use your Windows operation skills in your Linux environment. He has nothing to talk about, from logs to the network, from the command line to the help system - even how to compile the package by available source code.
You are going to Linux from Windows. You know that you need Linux's stability, flexibility, and low price, but there will be many problems in your mind. Is Linux like UNIX? Is UNIX difficult? Where did you start learning? Is there a diameter?
This series of articles is to help you use the accumulated experience and knowledge in the Linux environment. This reference material is not always necessary, but it can help you solve some problems when you begin school, and I think it is full of fun calculation. When you walk along this road, you will find a lot of new references to help you learn, diagnose, and manage Linux.
We assume that you have installed Linux. If you haven't installed yet, go to Linux.org to see which version you need to dress. When you are ready to install, you can find the appropriate download link.
Part 1. Linux Thought The first step in success in Linux is to learn Linux thought. Use the set you already know to use the Linux method.
Read "Linux Thoughts".
Part 2. The control station speed-ups Linux console has powerful and flexible features. If you have to use a lot of time to view the prompts for a lot of time, then you should take some time to review the common commands you will continue to better familiarize with this environment.
Read "Control Terminal Cast".
Part 3. Introduction to Webmin Although the specific details of management are important, it is usually more convenient if there is a tool. Moreover, a high-level application can simplify complex configuration processes. Whether you are an initiator or experienced administrator, Webmin can help you complete the configuration task only by pointing and select.
Read "Webmin Introduction".
Part 4. User Management If there is no user in a system, is it still a system? Learn how to manage users in Linux.
Read "User Management".
Part 5. Linux log Linux expands the use of logs. It won't hide anything to you. Skilled use logs will allow you to monitor system health status, tracking systems, and user activities.
Read "Linux log".
Part 6. Using the file system file system is the core part of each server. The Linux file system has great flexibility.
Read the "Use File System".
Part 7. The network today is not imagined under the situation where there is no network. Only LINUX potential can only be played in the network. However, Linux networks look very unique. You need to learn some new terms and new tools.
Read "Network".
Part 8. The data for backup and recovery backups is the first line of defense against disasters. Linux provides a variety of options, in which some simple methods are short.
Read "Backup and Recovery".
Part 9. Installing software Linux can use pre-packaged binaries, or you can compile programs yourself. Tools for installing Linux programs are very practical, there are a lot of you unexpected features.
Read "Install Software".
Reference
To start using IBM software products on Linux, develop the refueling speed page for your Linux application will provide you with the best reference. You can find installation prompts and reference information about DB2, Lotus Domino, WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Studio, etc. You can also log in to get the free Linux Software Evaluation Kit, with trial software and training materials. Learn Linux for further learning Linux basic concepts through developerWorks. "Linux User Technology FAQ" (DEVELOPERWORKS, July 2001) can also help you transition from Windows to Linux smoothly. Linux Documentation Project is a Linux document warehouse, which includes independent software, HOWTO document, FAQ, and more. Linux Online! Provides no prejudice Linux news and information. O'Reilly Network is an excellent resource for Linux technology books. Linux AT IBM Site provides software, link, end-to-end Linux solutions, and more. Special, please refer to Learning Linux and Linux Education information on Linux At IBM. IBM provides certification and training for professional certification services and UNIX and Linux hardware and various software systems (including IBM products). IBM DeveloperWorks provides two detailed series of tutorials for Linux Professional Institute (LPI) authentication. Starting from the 101 series: Part 1 is the Linux foundation; Part 2, Part 3, and 4 are managed. In the 102 series, the Part 1 is how self-source code compiler; how to compile the core; Part 3 begins to involve the network; Part 4 is mainly safe. Access the LPI website with more in-depth understanding of their certification programs. Red Hat provides authentication for its release. More reference materials for Linux developers can be found in the developerWorks Linux zone.
