Summary

This book takes a practical approach to system administration and network services on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5, offering a comprehensive and systematic introduction that helps readers understand the platform's powerful capabilities while enabling Linux users to quickly learn and master RHEL 7.5. Divided into three parts and twelve chapters, it covers an overview of Linux, installing Linux, the graphical desktop and command line, file management and common commands, disk management, user management and common commands, package management, text editors, Shell programming, C programming under Linux, and Linux networking fundamentals, network security, and virus protection. Accessible and clearly written, the book is ideal for beginner and intermediate Linux users, serving both as a textbook for computer-related courses and Linux training classes and as a professional reference for Linux enthusiasts.

Editor's review

Linux Operating System Practical Tutorial is a systematic introductory guide for beginner and intermediate learners. Drawing on a solid computer science background and frontline teaching experience, author Ling Jing presents the complex Linux knowledge system in a clear structure. The book's greatest strength is its practicality-oriented approach: rather than simply listing countless command parameters, it adopts a task-driven method, building a step-by-step learning path from system installation, user management, and file operations to network configuration and Shell programming. Particularly noteworthy is its explanation of Shell scripts and system service management, which bridges the gap for readers moving from 'knowing how to use' to 'understanding the principles.' Compared with similar textbooks on the market, this book strikes a good balance between theoretical depth and hands-on practice, with cases drawn from real-world daily management and operations scenarios. For readers who want to build a Linux knowledge framework and start operating in a relatively short time, this is a reliable and efficient guide. Its content is based on stable mainstream distributions, ensuring the generality and timeliness of the knowledge.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Undergraduate or vocational college students in computer-related majors, as a companion practical textbook for operating system courses.
Career changers planning to work in operations, development, or testing who need to quickly master basic Linux skills.
Enthusiasts interested in open-source systems who want to learn Linux operations systematically from scratch.
Professionals who need Linux as a working environment for daily file management, network configuration, and simple scripting.

Not a good fit for

Senior engineers seeking in-depth analysis of Linux kernel mechanisms for advanced performance tuning or driver development.
Readers who only need to look up extreme parameter usage for a specific command and expect this book to serve as a complete command reference.

Reading tips

It is recommended to study the chapters in order and be sure to complete the practice exercises after each chapter; this is key to consolidating knowledge.
When studying the Shell programming section, try modifying and combining the book's examples to solve small tasks of your own design.
Practice in a virtual machine environment and run through the book's system management operations in full to deepen understanding.

About the author

凌菁 Author

Ling Jing is an author about whom little public information is available. Two works by this author are currently held in the collection, and they fall into two quite distant fields: medicine and programming design. The first is A Research Collection on Xu Dachun, which centers on the Qing dynasty physician Xu Dachun and belongs to the compilation and study of medical figures and medical-historical sources. The second is A Practical Course on the Linux Operating System, which addresses the basic operation and practical use of the operating system. Judging from this range of subjects, Ling Jing's writing spans traditional medical literature and modern computer technology: the former emphasizes the sorting of historical materials and academic discussion, while the latter emphasizes introductory teaching and hands-on practice. Stylistically, the works consist mainly of source compilations and course texts, with attention to practicality and the transmission of knowledge. Because details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, and professional background cannot be confirmed, no account of the author's personal life is given here; readers may instead form a sense of the author's areas of interest from the two works mentioned above.
