For Immediate Release

Linux Press announces new title in Linux Resource Series

The Best of Linux Distributions is second in series


PENNGROVE, CA (August 16, 1999) — Linux Press today announced the second
title in its new Linux Resource Series. Designed to provide comprehensive
documentation for the latest Linux distributions and concepts, the Linux
Resource Series enables users of all levels to access Linux information.

The Best of Linux Distributions is based on Matt Welsh’s cult classic Linux
Installation & Getting Started. Revised, expanded, and updated, The Best of
Linux Distributions includes a general introduction to Linux; detailed
explanations of drive partitioning, filesystems, and software package
installation; distribution-specific instructions for installing Debian
GNU/Linux, Slackware, Caldera OpenLinux, and Red Hat Linux; a complete,
low-stress Linux tutorial; system administration under Linux; X Window; and
Networking.

Also included are 4 CD-ROMs containing the latest Linux operating system for
Red Hat Linux, Caldera OpenLinux, Debian GNU/Linux, and Slackware.

Linux Press President Randy Just comments on the latest addition to the
Linux Resource Series: ”The diversity of Linux distributions can be daunting
for new users. The Best of Linux Distributions covers the installation and
use of four of the most popular Linux distributions as well as providing
invaluable general Linux information. New or experienced Linux users can
easily try out all of the included distributions in an afternoon and choose
the right one for their needs.”

The Best of Linux Distributions is a 627 page softcover book and will be
available direct from the publisher and through major distributors and
bookstores the week of September 13, 1999.
