Subject: COMMERCIAL: _Linux Power Tools_ book now available

My latest book, _Linux Power Tools_ from Sybex, ISBN 0782142265, is now
available. This book is a guide to Linux for intermediate to advanced
users. Instead of spending time on basic topics such as system
installation and using basic X features, the book emphasizes issues that
involve advanced or tricky configuration, such as network-based scanning
with SANE, using Xft fonts, resizing filesystems, and using NTP to
synchronize time between systems. This book can help you get the most out
of a Linux system, but you should have at least a basic grounding in
using the OS first. Because the Linux world is so diverse, this book
provides explicit coverage of five popular distributions: Debian,
Mandrake, Red Hat, Slackware, and SuSE.
The chapters included in this book are:
Part 1. Hardware Tools
1. Optimizing System Architecture Usage
2. Improving Disk Performance
3. Using External Peripherals
Part 2. User Tools
4. Mastering Shells and Shell Scripting
5. Doing Real Work in Text Mode
6. Getting the Most from a Desktop Environment
7. Using Linux for Office Productivity
8. Miscellaneous User Tools
Part 3. System Administration Tools
9. Bypassing Automatic Configurations to Gain Control
10. Using Multiple OSs
11. Managing Packages
12. Filesystems and Files
13. Managing Printers
14. Programs and Processes
15. Creating a Custom Kernel
16. Optimizing X Configuration
17. Protecting Your System with Backups
18. System Security
Part 4. Networking Tools
19. Basic Network Configuration
20. Controlling Network Access
21. Detecting Intruders
Part 5. Server Tools
22. Running Servers
23. Getting More from a Web Server
24. Sharing Files
25. Delivering E-Mail
26. Providing Remote Login Access
27. Miscellaneous Servers
