TAKE TWO FOR LINUX HEADACHES:	New book shows readers how to solve
technical Linux problems 

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, July 2000,
http://www.nostarch.com/?lps)
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.
