Linux Documentation > General Documentation Basic Topics
- Introduction to Linux - A Hands On Guide - This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System,
geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started
guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
- Linux Administration Made Easy - The Linux Administration Made Easy (LAME) guide attempts to describe
day-to-day administration and maintenance issues commonly faced by
Linux system administrators.
- Bash Guide for Beginners - The Bash Guide for Beginners gets you started with Bash scripting and
bridges the gap between the Bash HOWTO and the Advanced Bash Scripting
Guide. Everybody who wants to make life easier on themselves, power
users and sysadmins alike, can benefit from reading this practical
course.
- LDP Author Guide - This guide describes the process of submitting and publishing a
document with The Linux Documentation Project (TLDP). It includes
information about the tools, toolchains and formats used by TLDP. The
document's primary audience is new TLDP authors, but it also contains
information for seasoned documentation authors.

Linux/UNIX/POSIX related terms and jargon. At approximately 9000
definitions and one thousand pages it is one of the largest Linux
related dictionaries currently available.
Advanced Topics
- Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide - This document is both a tutorial and a reference on shell scripting
with Bash. It assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or
programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced
level of instruction.
- The Linux System Administrators' Guide - This is the third book in the main LDP series, and assumes knowledge
of everything in the Installation and Users' Guides. It will cover all
of the aspects of keeping the system running, handling user accounts,
backups, configuration of the system, installing and upgrading
software, and more. Whereas some of this information is in the
Installation Guide (just to get the system off the ground) this book
should be much more complete.
- The Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Second Edition - This book was written to provide a single reference for network
administration in a Linux environment. Beginners and experienced users
alike should find the information they need to cover nearly all
important administration activities required to manage a Linux network
configuration.
- Linux From Scratch - Derived from the popular Linux-From-Scratch-HOWTO, this book describes
the process of creating your own Linux system from scratch from an
already installed Linux distribution, using nothing but the sources of
software that are needed.
- EVMS User Guide - This book is designed to address user's questions about Enterprise
Volume Management System (EVMS) and provide a context for using EVMS.
- Securing and Optimizing Linux Red Hat Edition - A Hands on Guide - This book is intended for a target audience of technical and system
administrators who manage Linux servers, but it also includes enough
material for home users and others. It discusses how to install and
setup a Red Hat Linux Server with all the necessary security and
optimization for a high performance Linux specific machine.
- Custom Linux: A Porting Guide - Porting LinuxPPC to a Custom SBC - This guide describes a work in progress, to port Linux to a custom
PowerPC-based board. This means making the operating system work on
unfamiliar hardware. Anyone, who is on the same track might benefit
from reading this paper, as it highlights the pitfalls and problematic
points along the way.
- Using Samba, Second Edition - This book is primarily intended for Unix administrators who need to support Windows clients on their network, as well as anyone who needs to access the resources of a Windows network environment from a Unix client.
- Samba-3 by Example - Practical Exercises in Successful Samba Deployment - This book provides step-by-step, proven, working examples of Samba deployments.

- Pocket Linux Guide - The Pocket Linux Guide is for anyone interested in learning the
techniques of building a GNU/Linux system from source code. The guide
is structured as a project that builds a small diskette-based
GNU/Linux system called Pocket Linux. Each chapter explores a small
piece of the overall system explaining how it works, why it is needed
and how to build it.
- Guide to Managing Media and Public Relations in the Linux Community - This guide provides useful information on how to generate positive
