What is in this book?

Chapter 4 offers an introduction to the basics of administering your new

Debian system. Many of the commands described in this chapter are also

useful in daily user operations, so this chapter is useful information even when

the target machine is a private workstation with no network connections. In

addition, examples are provided for adding users, assigning group permissions

and other rudimentary tools for administering a multi user system like Linux.

In addition to these three chapters there are several appendices, covering var 

ious details useful to the installation process. Also contained in these appen 

dices are several Debian documents of interest, as well as a copy of the license

under which this book is delivered.

Dwarf hopes the reader will find the material in this book to be useful in their

discovery of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.

Luck,

Dwarf
