San Francisco, CA--Plenty of books teach users how to install the popular,
free Linux operating system-but what do they do once it's installed and it
won't connect to the Web or the printer will only spit out gibberish? THE
LINUX PROBLEM SOLVER: Simple Solutions for System Administrators
(1-886411-35-2, $34.95, paperback w/CD-ROM, No Starch Press, May 2000,
http://www.nostarch.com/lps.htm) is a concise guide to solving technical
Linux problems.

Written by Brian Ward, author of the Linux Kernel HOW-TO, THE LINUX PROBLEM
SOLVER is for users who already have their system up and running and want to
solve problems related to printing, networking, back-up, crash recovery and
upgrading a kernel. This book helps solve difficult Linux snafus by
integrating troubleshooting techniques with clear explanations and tutorials
of Linux utilities. An invaluable reference, THE LINUX PROBLEM SOLVER shows
readers how to solve over 100 problems, including how to:

* Troubleshoot printing, filesharing, and networking problems
* Configure and install software from source code
* Compile and install a new Linux kernel
* Debug a network connection and secure a system
* Recover from a system crash and prevent serious damage in the future

The CD-ROM directly supports the book's contents, with configuration files
and numerous programs not included with many Linux distributions. The CD
also doubles as an emergency boot disk with diagnostic and recovery tools.

Available in bookstores or from No Starch Press (1-800-420-7240,
http://www.nostarch.com), THE LINUX PROBLEM SOLVER is the ultimate resource
for readers who want to take their Linux installation to the next level.
