I will set up a dual-boot Vista / Linux and I'm looking for a good version, and I would able to install it without trying it first (from CD boot). What do you suggest and why? I want the best performance, while at the same time always something else to use. I know Linux can run on anything, but even so, I have 2048MB RAM and a 320 GB hard drive, it would not be a problem. I would like also some advice on partitioning my hard drive.
Rather than dual boot. Try to install: virtualization Suse Linux. Goto www.vmware.com and reload the VM Workstation software. Install, create a new virtualized Linux installation … Finally, you'd Linux within Windows. You can optimize your installed base to clone, then To install your virtual anyway. If you goof up your Linux install / software …. no big deal, another clone in less than 60 seconds.

Linux consistently appears high up in the list of popular Internet servers, whether it’s for the Web, anonymous FTP, or general services such as DNS and delivering mail. But security is the foremost concern of anyone providing such a service. Any server experiences casual probe attempts dozens of time a day, and serious break-in attempts with some frequency as well. This highly regarded book, originally titled "Building Secure Servers with Linux," combines practical advice with a firm knowledge of the technical tools needed to ensure security. The book focuses on the most common use of Linux–as a hub offering services to an organization or the Internet–and shows readers how to harden their hosts against attacks. An all-inclusive resource for Linux users who wish to harden their systems, "Linux Server Security" covers general security such as intrusion detection and firewalling a hub, as well as key services such as DNS, the Apache Web server, mail, and secure shell. Author Michael D. Bauer, a security consultant, network architect, and lead author of the popular Paranoid Penguin column in the "Linux Journal," carefully outlines the security risks, defines precautions that can minimize those risks, and offers recipes for robust security. He is joined on several chapters by administrator and developer Bill Lubanovic. A number of new security topics have been added for this edition, including: Database security, with a focus on MySQL Using OpenLDAP for authentication An introduction to email encryption The Cyrus IMAP service, a popular mail delivery agent The vsftpd FTP server Geared toward Linux users with little security expertise, the author explainssecurity concepts and techniques in clear language, beginning with the fundamentals. "Linux Server Security" with Linux provides a unique balance of "big picture" principles that transcend specific software packages and version numbers, and very clear procedures on securing some of those software packages on several popular distributions. With this book in hand, you’ll have both the expertise and the tools to comprehensively secure your Linux system.
Device drivers literally drive everything you’re interested in–disks, monitors, keyboards, modems–everything outside the computer chip and memory. And writing device drivers is one of the few areas of programming for the Linux operating system that calls for unique, Linux-specific knowledge. For years now, programmers have relied on the classic "Linux Device Drivers" from O’Reilly to master this critical subject. Now in its third edition, this bestselling guide provides all the information you’ll need to write drivers for a wide range of devices. Over the years the book has helped countless programmers learn: how to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system how to develop and write software for new hardware under Linux the basics of Linux operation even if they are not expecting to write a driver The new edition of "Linux Device Drivers" is better than ever. The book covers all the significant changes to Version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, which simplifies many activities, and contains subtle new features that can make a driver both more efficient and more flexible. Readers will find new chapters on important types of drivers not covered previously, such as consoles, USB drivers, and more. Best of all, you don’t have to be a kernel hacker to understand and enjoy this book. All you need is an understanding of the C programming language and some background in Unix system calls. And for maximum ease-of-use, the book uses full-featured examples that you can compile and run without special hardware. Today Linux holds fast as the most rapidly growing segment of the computer market and continues to win over enthusiastic adherents in many applicationareas. With this increasing support, Linux is now absolutely mainstream, and viewed as a solid platform for embedded systems. If you’re writing device drivers, you’ll want this book. In fact, you’ll wonder how drivers are ever written without it.

In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn’t kept waiting any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks. The third edition of "Understanding the Linux Kernel" takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line. But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code; it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does. This edition of the book covers Version 2.6, which has seen significant changes to nearly every kernel subsystem, particularly in the areas of memory management and block devices. The book focuses on the following topics: Memory management, including file buffering, process swapping, and Direct memory Access (DMA) The Virtual Filesystem layer and the Second and Third Extended Filesystems Process creation and scheduling Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers Timing Synchronization within the kernel Interprocess Communication (IPe Program execution "Understanding the Linux Kernel" will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but it’s more than just an academic exercise. You’ll learn what conditions bring out Linux’s best performance, and you’ll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments. This book will help you make the most of your Linux system.

We’ll use the more than apt description of Linux from ESR’s Jargon File: Linux /lee’nuhks/ or /li’nuks/, not /li:’nuhks/ n. The free Unix workalike created by Linus Torvalds and friends starting about 1991. The pronunciation /li’nuhks/ is preferred because the name `Linus’ has an /ee/ sound in Swedish (Linus’s family is part of Finland’s 6% ethnic-Swedish minority) and Linus considers English short /i/ to be closer to /ee/ than English long /i:/. This may be the most remarkable hacker project in history — an entire clone of Unix for 386, 486 and Pentium micros, distributed for free with sources over the net (ports to Alpha and Sparc and many other machines are also in use). Linux is what GNU aimed to be, and it relies on the GNU toolset. But the Free Software Foundation didn’t produce the kernel to go with that toolset until 1999, which was too late. Other, similar efforts like FreeBSD and NetBSD have been technically successful but never caught fire the way Linux has; as this is written in 2001, Linux is seriously challenging Microsoft’s OS dominance. It has already captured 31% of the Internet-server market and 25% of general business servers.

A new edition of this title is available, ISBN-10: 0137003889 ISBN-13: 9780137003884 Praise for "A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux(R)" "I am so impressed by how Mark Sobell can approach a complex topic in such an understandable manner. His command examples are especially useful in providing a novice (or even advanced) administrator with a cookbook on how to accomplish real-world tasks on Linux. He is truly an inspired technical writer " "-George Vish II, Senior Education Consultant, Hewlett-Packard Company" "Overall, I think it’s a great, comprehensive Ubuntu book that’ll be a valuable resource for people of all technical levels." "-John Dong, Ubuntu Forum Council Member, Backports Team Leader" "The JumpStart sections really offer a quick way to get things up and running, allowing you to dig into the details of his books later." "-Scott Mann, Aztek Networks" "Ubuntu is gaining popularity at the rate alcohol did during prohibition, and it’s great to see a well-known author write a book on the latest and greatest version. Not only does it contain Ubuntu-specific information, but it also touches on general computer-related topics, which will help the average computer user to better understand what’s going on in the background. Great work, Mark " "-Daniel R. Arfsten, Pro/ENGINEER Drafter/Designer" "I read a lot of Linux technical information every day, but I’m rarely impressed by tech books. I usually prefer online information sources instead. Mark Sobell’s books are a notable exception. They’re clearly written, technically accurate, comprehensive-and actually enjoyable to read." "-Matthew Miller, Senior Systems Analyst/Administrator, BU Linux Project, Boston University Office, of Information Technology" "I would so love to be able to use this book to teach a class about not just Ubuntu or Linux but about computers in general. It is thorough and well written with good illustrations that explain important concepts for computer usage." "-Nathan Eckenrode, New York Local Community Team" Praise for Other Books by Mark Sobell "I currently own one of your books, "A Practical Guide to Linux(R)." I believe this book is one of the most comprehensive and, as the title says, practical guides to Linux I have ever read. I consider myself a novice and I come back to this book over and over again." "-Albert J. Nguyen" "Thank you for writing a book to help me get away from Windows XP and to never touch Windows Vista. The book is great; I am learning a lot of new concepts and commands. Linux is definitely getting easier to use." "-James Moritz" "I have been wanting to make the jump to Linux but did not have the guts to do so-until I saw your familiarly titled "A Practical Guide to Red Hat(R) Linux(R)" at the bookstore. I picked up a copy and am eagerly looking forward to rega

The release of Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 10 (SLES 10) marked a new era for the Open Source server. SLES 10 was developed with interoperability in mind. It can be integrated seamlessly into existing network environments, both Open Source and proprietary. It provides a manageable, stable, secure, and affordable network environment. The Linux community at large is constantly updating and improving the Linux kernel. Novell generates their revenue by building a support package around SLED 10. The elimination of development costs allows Novell to offer SLED 10 at significantly lower cost that Microsoft’s desktop OS. This model makes SLED 10 an affordable and attractive alternative desktop operating system for corporate environments, and many have already adopted it. Companies such as Marriott, CNN, Circuit City, HP, Dell, and Publix have adopted SLES 10, and now Industry certification bodies are recognizing the benefits of SLES 10 as well. As demand increases for this new operating system, the demand for trained Novell Administrators also increases. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Administration introduces network professionals to the new server program, and it contains Course Technology’s proven academic pedagogy, making this the ideal classroom solution for teaching Novell.
