Negus С. Linux Bible 11ed 2026

Textbook in PDF format The industry gold standard in Linux guides, fully updated. In the newly updated eleventh edition of the Linux Bible, veteran Linux author and trainer Christopher Negus walks you through the latest and most popular Linux distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise 9, Ubuntu 24 LTS, and Fedora 41. Whether you're a brand new or power user, you'll learn hands-on ways to become skilled at the world's most important operating system. This edition expands coverage of Linux in cloud environments, such as the AWS cloud, and on-premises environments (with enhanced data center management features). You'll learn techniques for managing storage, users, and security, while familiarizing yourself with administrative techniques using the clear explanations and step-by-step instructions that this series is known for. Also inside Get Linux up and running quickly and efficiently Master basic operations and tackle more advanced tasks Start using Git to draw on and contribute to the massive open source software world Configure a PXE server and install Linux automatically by booting from NICs and pulling pre-built images Understand the latest tools that make administering Linux servers and networks much simpler For this eleventh edition, major enhancements include a focus on developer desktop tools, using cloud consoles, updated firewall features, running AI workloads, and personal software installation tools Setting up a developer desktop: Like many others, I like to use Linux as my developer desktop. To help you get started with that, I added a section describing developer tools that come with Linux. I also provided a brief introduction to Git, since it is the primary tool for storing, updating, and otherwise managing software in the open source world. Using a cloud console: On a local Linux system, you open a terminal window or access a virtual terminal to access a shell. For cloud?based Linux systems, there are ways of accessing a Linux system shell from a cloud console. I describe how to do that for AWS. Alternative software install tools: While system?wide software package installation has traditionally been handled by RPM and Deb tools for RHEL and Ubuntu, respectively, other tools have emerged for installing software for personal use. Descriptions of these tools, like Snap, Homebrew, and Flatpak, are added to this edition. Improved firewall coverage: With iptables firewalls becoming less common on Linux systems, I dropped most iptables coverage. Instead, I beefed up descriptions of firewalld (for RHEL and Fedora systems) and introduced UFW firewalls (for Ubuntu systems). Setting up an AI chatbot: With the availability of AI large language models (LLMs) and tools for managing those LLMs, it is possible to run your own AI chatbot. While this software is challenging to run on low?powered hardware, I introduce you to how an AI chatbot can be run in Linux. procs for listing processes: I added a brief description of the procs utility for listing Linux processes. Quick install: I added a quick install section to the installation chapter for this edition. It should help someone starting with an old Windows laptop to get and install Fedora and overwrite their old operating system. Web server deployment: I added a short section on different ways to deploy a web server. Using authselect to manage PAM: In recent years, authselect has become the preferred way of managing pluggable authentication modules (PAM). So I enhanced descriptions of authselect. Out with the old: If there were a couple of popular ways to implement a particular feature, I would typically try to address both as long as they both were relevant. However, some features that I covered previously just became too outdated to include in this edition, so I just cut them. These include GNOME 2, iptables, and SystemV init. Cutting SystemV init was particularly sad for me because I was the first person to document it when it was created in the 1980s.
