Author Michael Jang says he spent many hours carefully documenting solutions to common annoyances with the most popular distributions, including Red Hat/Fedora, SUSE, and Debian/Ubuntu. Examples include recovering from lost root passwords, laptop optimizations, kernel installation glitches, log pruning, running X applications remotely, and lots more. Many topics were previously undocumented, or discussed only in obscure email archives, Jang says.

Jang adds, “This book will help geeks learn to deal with newer users while experiencing fewer annoyances. Finding better ways to deal with new users will help Linux take over the world!”
